Re: [WSG] Marking up company logo
I concur. Having it as a p is a much better way of dealing with it rather than having it as an image or h1. To me its less about SEO and much more about usability. People don't really care about your company, they're simply after the major headlines. Having a company logo take up the majority of the real-estate is less user-friendly and much more spammy. Maybe I am just a minimalist.

Re: [WSG] Marking up company logo
I would personally not be using a p tag too hold the logo? Why would you want too? you can position as you want without the need for extra markup. img src=logo.png alt=My company logo width=150px height=300px id=logo / - that makes it pretty obvious. of course if you only have 1 image in the header then you don't need the id either. Semantically I don't think it needs to be in any other tags at all. I think if people start think UO rather than SEO then the answers to most questions become a lot clearer - UO is a term I coined just the other day - UO = user optimisation.

Re: [WSG] Marking up company logo
Out of curiosity, is a logo img at the top of the page more semantically correct when wrapped in a p than when it's just on it's own (ie. not wrapped in anything other than, say, a 'header' div)? Easy! A p tag is supposed to hold a paragraph of text. If it is only holding an image, then there is no need for the surrounding p tag. Some people (including myself) feel uncomfortable with the img floating by itself, so wrapping it in a div id=header or something is a nice alternative. -- Matt Fellows http://www.onegeek.com.au/ *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***

[WSG] Re: Marking up company logo
There are several things to consider for the logo markup 1. it is a heading semantically, and if the image was not present, it would be a top level heading h1 as far as the information it provides 2. Search Engines only recognize/ rank the h1 and h2 headings (currently). 3. The older systems of using a logo image in the h1 as a background - are also not SEO friendly, either. So... If you want an accessible, browser friendly and findable website, there is the system that www.alistapart.com is now using for their logo. Using an h1 with an added id. sample: h1 id=masthead. This will distinguish it from the page titles, which are also h1 and keep it in heading order semantically. Also note, keep the image in the markup.

RE: [WSG] Marking up company logo
Hi Chris I'm not convinced that h1 is semantically correct for a logo (or even banner). I would normally expect the h1 to be similar to the title - it indicates what the whole page is about (but not the whole site).

RE: [WSG] Marking up company logo
Thanks for all the feedback regarding this. I'm actually beginning to think an html image tag would be better suited to mark-up a company logo and reserving the h1 for the main page title, this seems to make more sense to me after giving it more thought. Also most of the sites I build use CMS's and clients will go ahead and use a h1 anyway for the top level heading in the editable area therefore the logical order of headers is broken. At the end of the day semantics means a lot more to me than SEO. On a side note I find I have to insert an image tag (for the logo) for the print version as most clients aren't happy about showing plain text from the h1 as we all know that printing background images is turned off by default.

Re: [WSG] Marking up company logo
For a few years now I've been marking up a clients company logo as a h1. I just wanted to get an idea of how many people actually do this compared to using a html image tag? I believe a h1 is more semantically correct however I'd be interested in seeing what other people on this list think. My take is that only the homepage should have the company name/logo as the h1. As you move through the site, the h1 should shift to the more specific top heading on the page - on a category/index page it would be that category's name; on a specific content page it should be the headline on the content. On these other pages the logo/name just goes in a div, usually with a strong. That way, you build a logical structure across the site. Each page will have a logical h1. That's the ideal of course. If your system doesn't allow for that sort of thing, having the logo as the h1 on every page isn't the end of the world, although you really need to make sure your title and h2 combination is accurate to make up for it :) cheers, Ben -- --- http://weblog.200ok.com.au/ --- The future has arrived; it's just not --- evenly distributed. - William Gibson *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***

Re: [WSG] Marking up company logo
An h1 is definitely not for marking up the company logo. A logo in a banner would go in a div, div id=logo. h1 is reserved for the semantically correct information for the main heading. Alistapart must have it wrong. Actually, looking through their code, they do appear to have it wrong. The h# tags are odd. When in doubt, see what Dan Cederholm at simplebits.com does, or the Happy Cog folks ( img id=logo src=/i/hc_logo_print.png alt=Happy Cog logo / ). They've never steered me wrong. j *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***

Re: [WSG] innerHTML assignment overflows TD cell in FF
Hey,
I see from reading up that innerHTML is not really
standard, and not the best way to go. Was not
aware of that and from the doc you send am now
working on this:
var maincontent=document.getElementById('newsnode');
maincontent.firstChild.nodeValue=ret;
And the node looks like this:
div id=newsnode!!main_content!!/div
But this is not working. I guess the node itself
is not the first node? Will keep working at it,
but any hint would sure be appreciated.
Incidentally, !!main_content!! is a placeholder
value replaced via PHP with the initial content on
page load.
Thanks!

Re: [WSG] innerHTML assignment overflows TD cell in FF
Hey all,
I got a little further with the following:
var ret=serverFunction(url);
var newsnode=document.getElementById('newsnode');
while(newsnode.firstChild)
newsnode.removeChild(newsnode.firstChild);
var txt = document.createTextNode(ret);
newsnode.appendChild(txt);
1) I got the completed formatted HTML page back
from serverFunction in the variable ret.
2) Then I cleared out all the child nodes in the div
3) Created a text node
4) Appended the new text to the node.
Except, as those of you more experienced than I
already knew, the HTML was not formatted.
I guess that's why some people still prefer innerHTML?
And I guess the only alternative is to create each
element, including tags like strong, i, etc?
So is this common? Format the whole page via JS code?
Yikes!
Thanks for any advice or comments,
Skip

Re: [WSG] innerHTML assignment overflows TD cell in FF
This isn't necessarily answering your question, but in the interest of
standards I thought I should point out that your table is not well formed.
There are header (thead and th), body (tbody), and footer (tfoot)
elements that you can and should use, as well as a caption (optional).
Your table should look something like this:
table
captionDescription of the Table/caption
thead
thead
tr
th colspan=3Header/th
/tr
/thead
tbody
tr
tdstuff/td
tdthe most stuff/td

Hey,
I see from reading up that innerHTML is not really
standard, and not the best way to go. Was not
aware of that and from the doc you send am now
working on this:
var maincontent=document.getElementById('newsnode');
maincontent.firstChild.nodeValue=ret;
And the node looks like this:
div id=newsnode!!main_content!!/div
Try this:
var maincontent=document.getElementById('newsnode');
maincontent.firstChild.data=Hello World!;

That is not changing the content of the div tag,
or anything on the screen.

It should. What happens when you run the following in the Firebug console?
$('newsnode').firstChild.data=Hello World!;
