Gaspar! Nice solution! Cleanest yet!
Have to say - I'm not a fan of Bob's approach. Yes, tables would solve
a lot of the problems neatly. But sorry, it's simply not tabular data
and come re-design time, tables simly don't have the flexibility of
semantics. Who knows, my client might turn around and say, can we have
that in three columns?
In which case, I'd have to got back and redo all of them as a
different kind of table.
I guess this illustrates the point nicely: tables v semantics may not
make much difference in 'one-off' situations, but they certainly make
a HUGE difference when I have this kind of alhpabetical (or
numeric/yearly) list appearing about 60 times across one of my sites!
Thanks to those that contributed!
Richard :o)
Fair points Richard, but if I had the code 60 or times so on a site, I'd
have it inserted as a single library item, thereby reducing it to one
instance only, making any changes become simple. Horses for courses and
all that.
