Re: [WSG] HTML special characters coding

[Calvin Chan]

I have always used the  for ampersand.  The only time I use the code is
when there isn't an actual character on the keyboard.  I.e copyright sign.

I don't think it matter on which one to use.

 Hello,
 I am looking for advice on if the best way to code for special characters
 is to use the actual character or the attribute value or the alt code?
 i.e. for the ampersand should one use  or amp;? Does it matter? I know
 that Dreamweaver automates some of this but what is the best practice?

 Thank you

 kevin

Re: [WSG] Centering all items in a li

[Calvin Chan]

Hi Darren,
First of all, I will have to agree with Matijs that it is probably not the
best place to use li.

Second, I was actually doing some research on these type of problems the
other day, and I founded this:

However, I did not get a chance to try it myself yet, but maybe this can
give you some idea on where to start.

 Here's a example of what I'm doing http://www.munkyonline.co.uk/test.html

 I want the li's to behave the same as table cells set with valign:middle.

 I've had to float the li's left instead of displaying them inline
 otherwise
 they stack on top of each other in a mess!

 I suppose looking at it I could have used divs instead of a list but
 either
 way, I think it will still behave the same.

 Cheers,

 Darren

 A link to a stripped down test would be helpful.

 However, if you can't post a link, perhaps one of the links below will be
 helpful to you?
