[WSG] Semantic or no?
Hello Listers, Quick question (maybe). I've seen a few sliders that use unordered lists as their base structure, using LI's as each 'slide', and allow devs to put anything (HTML structures, as opposed to just an image) into the LI's. Is putting block elements into an LI really semantically ok/allowed?

Re: [WSG] list heading – best practice?
h? before the list. thats the way i do it, but it doesn't feel right. in most of my cases the UL is more secondary content, like menus etc. i want to keep H1 to H6 for structuring the main content. *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org ***

RE: [WSG] list heading - best practice?
I wouldn't recommend that. It may look OK stylistically, but not semantically. I believe H? before the list makes the most sense. - Dan Freeman -Original Message- From: li...@webstandardsgroup.org [mailto:li...@webstandardsgroup.org] On Behalf Of coder Sent: Friday, March 02, 2012 1:23 PM To: wsg@webstandardsgroup.org Subject: Re: [WSG] list heading - best practice? ul li class=title strongQuick links/strong /li li a href=noticeboard.html title=news and Notices Noticeboard /a /li li a href=site/sitemap.html title=A list of site contents, with links Sitemap /a /li li a href=site/sitepolicy.html Site policy /a /li li a href=site/links.html title=further information Useful links /a /li /ul??
