So, I had a wakeup call the other day when looking for a solution to a
problem of mine when I bumped into this:
http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/html/own-dtd.html Creating your own DTD for
HTML validation .
So I'm wondering, why this isn't more widespread.
Now I can write code like this: <h1 editable="true">This is a topic</h1> and
still make validation (not for the standard but for my edited version of
one).
So I made a few changes in a edit in place script I'm working on, and I
gotta say it makes the source much more readable.
so instead of
<h1 id="topic-5-news" class="editableLine">This is the topic of news
nr5</h1>
I get
<h1 db="news" field="topic" unique="5" editable="line">This is the topic of
news nr5</h1>
Or like I'm using it:
<div db="news" unique="5">
<h1 field="topic" editable="true">This is the topic of news nr5</h1>
<div field="content" editable="true">This is a editable paragraph</div>
</div>
and with jQuery I'm able to use the selectors $('h1[editable=true]') to
generate a <input> field and $('div[editable=true]') to generate a WYSIWYG
editor.
I get the current table and unique id from checking the parent div's
parameters, and the field from the current element.
Ok so this is getting a little long, but why oh why, havn't I thought of
this before? And whats the catch?!
I'ts late and I really gotta get some sleep, but I would love to hear some
input in this from fellow JQuery users, we do want our code to be easy to
read, don't we? :P
