Re: [WSG] site check/comments please
G'day Actually, it isn't an h3, that just applies to the title line. The list is simply that - a list of a ref's. I didn't see the point of making it any more complex than it needed to be, and it all seemed to work OK. But hey - I'm learning here, and asking for advice, so if there IS a good reason why it should be a ul please do tell. I can only think of two reasons: 1. Accessibility Look at the page with styles disabled and try to make sense of the links. Does it still work OK? 2. Semantics By your own admission, it is a list of a ref's list. So why don't you use a list element? I note you don't want to add complexity. Is an unordered list more complex than the code in the splash page (which is not valid HTML4.01 Transitional, let alone Strict as suggested by the DTD)?

Hi Bert, you wrote: I can only think of two reasons: 1. Accessibility Look at the page with styles disabled and try to make sense of the links. Does it still work OK? Yep! (well, I think so, anyway) 2. Semantics By your own admission, it is a list of a ref's list. So why don't you use a list element? For the same reason I haven't used a 'list' of images. I note you don't want to add complexity. Is an unordered list more complex than the code in the splash page (which is not valid HTML4.01 Transitional, let alone Strict as suggested by the DTD)? Two main points here - 1) I really don't think that the opening page code is 'complicated ' (I presume that you are referring to the 'object' code - it's typical flash code and instantly recognisable as such by most people.) 2) It really doesn't matter what the heck DTD you use if you are going to insert Flash, because it won't validate anyway! (I'm aware of the satay stuff, but never been very keen on it.) The failures to validate stem only from the flash and the proprietary counter, and there is little I can do about that. The use of the strict code allows the designer to get everything right before inserting the object/counter code, then put the non-validating stuff in afterwards. That's my excuse, and I'm sticking to it! :-) Bob McClelland, Cornwall (U.K.) www.gwelanmor-internet.co.uk ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help **
[WSG] site check/comments please
Good day, I am upgrading a site to standards etc and would be grateful for any feedback/suggestions etc, and confirmation from MAC folk that it works OK. It isn't quite finished (two of the contributor links don't work yet - I'm working my way through them) but most of it is in place. The site is temporarily at www.treyarnon.com/wg/ Thanks for your time Bob McClelland, Cornwall (U.K.) www.gwelanmor-internet.co.uk ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help **
Re: [WSG] site check/comments please
Bob, Nice site. All works well in IE Mac, FF, Camino and Safari. Should the list of Contributors be a ul instead of h3?
