But my question is; does any browser use the cite attribute in the
blockquotes?


None that I'm aware of, no.

I believe Jeremy Keith or PPK has a javascript that pulls the cite attribute
out of the blockquote and places it as a link after the blockquote. It looks
like a research paper citation/footnote.

I know a little sample from the german Html-bible SelfHtml:

Look at

http://de.selfhtml.org/html/text/anzeige/blockquote_cite.htm

Right-Click on the blockquote 'Die Energie des Verstehens' shows a
new Option 'Properties' with the reference.

This works with FireFox 1.5 and Netscape 7.2, not with the IE6.

I think the actual answer should be.
The cite attribute is not displayed by any browser. However it is available
if you right click on the blockquote and look at the properties. It is also
available for some future semantic web research.

I use it often since it only takes a few moments to add it and I never know
who will actually use it or see it.  I think of it as a future easter egg.

It's also good for research papers or your own notes for going back and
finding the original sources.

And... you can use the js to display it on the page.

Has anyone tried using nicetitles.js to display the cite attribute on hover?
It should be a fairly easy modification.

Ted

Here's a quick'n'dirty version:

http://24ways.org/advent/dom-scripting-your-way-to-better-blockquotes

There's a longer version in my book which puts the attribution  
outside the blockquote, which is semantically more correct but a  
little trickier to implement.

Re: [WSG] Cite in blockquote

2006-01-26 Thread russ - maxdesign 
 It said that 'cite' is an attribute for the source of a blockquote,
 which makes sense.  However, when I tried to use it, I saw no
 difference, not something when I hovered the blockquote or right
 clicked.

It is also possible to display the cite attribute using attribute selectors,
(except in the wondrous IE). A quick example:

HTML
-
blockquote cite=http://www.site.com;
pLorem ipsum dolor /p
/blockquote

CSS

blockquote[cite]:after
{
content: Source:  attr(cite);
display: block;
}

The result should show the following at the end of the blockquote contents
(in attribute selector supporting browsers):
Source: http://www.site.com;

Thanks
Russ

Re: [WSG] Cite in blockquote

Oh my, that is extremely well, I like that. Thank you very much for
that information. :)

Is it possible to export it as a link (a) instead of plain text
using content:?
