[Jamie Collins]

Thanks for all the replies, ive been having countless debates regarding this
subject on IRC

Never the less, thank you for taking the time get involved.

I'd be comfortable doing that, since I am happy to treat definition
lists as the only available way to associate related information in
this manner.






- take your pick of the two options. IMHO, they're both
ok.

I'd be comfortable doing that, since I am happy to treat definition
lists as the only available way to associate related information in
this manner. Sure, it's a stretch of the semantics of definitions and
terms but the element does still associate the DT and DDs.

The UL+headers+nested lists option would also work, semantically
speaking. Again it's not perfect but it does hammer together a way to
associate the items.

Realistically this one could be argued back and forth all day with no
real way to resolve it - HTML4 just has a weakness in this area. HTML5
looks like it will have better elements for this sort of thing, but in
the meantime - take your pick of the two options. IMHO, they're both
ok.

cheers,
Ben

Although I use  maybe more often than some on this list think I 
should, I'm not sure whether I'd choose it for this job (the one Jamie 
is asking about). In the example given by Thierry the content in  
really says something about the image, in Jamie's gallery this is a bit 
different. Perhaps I'd choose a normal , but as I said: "I'm not 
sure", maybe it depends on my mood.
I guess you can do it both ways, and there will be pros and contras for 
both.


cheers,
Sander

Re: [WSG] A list of images with text under each image

[Jamie Collins]

Thats what im already doing, but the question was, is it really the correct
way to do it?

It just seems like that a DL is being used because its the easy to work
with, and its infact not the
right tool for the job.

I would probably use something like this ... (with h replaced with the
level heading required)





View
Buy





View
Buy

This is not really a 'How To' post, but instead, id like to know your views
on possible ways of marking up
the images with links under each image, example :
http://img181.imageshack.us/img181/1346/galltr8.gif (A
rough mock-up sent to me by the client)

Usually i would do either:


  
  View
  Buy


A  would seem like a mess when adding the View and Buy links. But the
thing that worries me is that this does not
show good use of a Def. List because the image isn't exactly a Def. Term and
the View and Buy arn't exactly Def. Descriptions are they?

I could also think of other ways to do the same thing, by placing a 
inside a  and using the  as a container for the image
and the links but again, it gets a bit messy, messy mark-up is the last
thing i want.

Any thoughts on the matter greatly appreciated.

on possible ways of marking up
the images with links under each image, example :
