One more html output question. I noticed from this interesting 2008 thread http://markmail.org/thread/cjim4rjktqj7exkg#query:+page:1+mid:rjqihxd5sgoiuvi3+state:results
that html uses <a name => while xhtml output uses <a id /> and that an empty <a id="" /> tag (without a separate closing tag) can cause rendering problems in all the major browsers (especially with regard to the a:hover pseudoclass). >From that 2008 thread I gathered that 1)xhtml output is l full of such gotchas and 2)there didn't seem to be a compelling reason to replace name with id in the HTML docbook xsl. Two years later, how does that assessment sound? In HTML 5, <a name is deprecated (still) but supported at least. Could a case be made for switching from <a name="test"></a> to <a id="test"></a>? (I find it odd that in 2010 the browsers don't render XHTML code with <a id="test /> correctly). -- Robert Nagle 12777 Ashford Point Dr #1417 Houston, Texas 77082 713 893 3424 http://www.robertnagle.info --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
