[WSG] First stab at html5
If any of you guys are around at this time, I'd be really grateful if you could have a look at: http://www.betasite.fsnet.co.uk/gam/altgam/gwelanmor.html It is very simple stuff, but I'd be interested if you could see anything 'wrong'/undesirable/not semantic etc. For example, is it OK to put a menu inside a nav? Is the flash embedded properly? (http://www.betasite.fsnet.co.uk/gam/flash/flashpage.html) embed src=gwelanmor2010.swf type=application/x-shockwave-flash width=596 height=375/ It seems to work . . . All comments gratefully received. Thanks, Bob *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org ***

(http://www.betasite.fsnet.co.uk/gam/flash/flashpage.html) I think menu is supposed to be a widget/app element rather than a simple list of links, and using it might cause some unexpected consequences down the road. From http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/interactive-elements.html#menus-intro : The menu element is used to define context menus and toolbars. See also the picture below In a supporting user agent, this might look like this. Just a regular ul would be fine for navigation elements. But http://html5.validator.nu/ thinks both pages are OK, and they look the same in Firefox 3.5 and IE7, so it seems to be good.

Thanks to those who responded. @David: rivers? Duh. Please explain. It is New Years Eve, after all! @Chris - I've set a white background, so I hope your yellow one has gone now! @Rob: - Original Message - From: Rob Crowther robe...@boogdesign.com The menu element is used to define context menus and toolbars. This is exactly the sort of consideration that I find a bit confusing at this stage. I, in my ignorance, considered it to be just that. Duh? Have a good New Year!

RE: http://www.betasite.fsnet.co.uk/gam/altgam/gwelanmor.html It is a term used in typography. Think of a block of text as you would a piece of fine tapestry. On your home page, squint' your eyes at that text block and you'll see the rivers cascading down the tapestry. Still don't see it? Take a screen shot of the text-block and literally rotate in photoshop so that is upside down-- and you'll see the rivers. Justified text is sometimes quite nice in print media when done by a typographer really knows her stuff. I would not attempt to stay awake nights waiting for Web software to catch up. In the meantime, reset to flush left/scatter right. CSS: text-align: left; This will dry up the rivers and the text will be easier to read. A different font stack and honoring user default rather than your personal preference could also be a nice touch, too. ~d -- http://chelseacreekstudio.com/ *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org ***
