1. All those <header><footer> are only marginally better than <div>. Keep it simple. I do not like the use of conditional comments. 2. Not every server is connected to the internet and is kept up-to-date to have the latest Firefox. I have to maintain Tomcat on several servers that have old version of Firefox installed (such as 3.6). This documentation will be broken there. [3] (Well, it is not a show stopper. It would be a lot more trouble if we broke the Manager application). IIRC, the plan was to roll this design to Tomcat 7 and Tomcat 6 as well. > > [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/html51/ > [2] http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/ > [3] https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/header Best regards, Konstantin Kolinko --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@tomcat.apache.org
