As part of the overhaul of my site, I marked up my resume as hResume.
You can see the result at:
http://www.nomadcode.com/info/resumeAngusMcIntyre.html
As recommended, and as demonstrated by the examples in the wiki, I
used <object> with 'class=include' in each vcard entry used for a job
title to 'point back' to my name (an <h1> with id 'name') at the top
of the page.
Like everyone else who uses this - as far as I can see - I was forced to add:
object.include { display: none; width: 0; height: 0; }
to my CSS to prevent something very ugly happening on the page.
Without this, Safari shows a small scrollable area that appears to
contain the entire text of the page (rather than just the <h1>
element with id 'name') each time <object> appears; browsing the page
in Firefox with stylesheets turned off shows a large blank space
where the <object> would be. Even with the CSS fix in place, page
loading seems curiously 'flickery' on this page.
My questions are (a) have I done this wrong, and (b) should I be
alarmed by the apparent odd behavior of the browsers in this case?
Safari's activity window shows the presence of fourteen instances of:
http://www.nomadcode.com/info/resumeAngusMcIntyre.html#name
although thankfully it doesn't recurse further. What I don't know is
whether this is causing Safari to use excess memory, and whether
other browsers would be similar affected.
The other alternative, presumably, would be to replace the <object>
elements by a repetition of my name which, while redundant, might
make life easier for browsers rendering the page. Would this trip up
any hResume parsers, or is it legitimate?
Or is it permissible to leave out the repetition of my name in the
job title vcards entirely? I seem to recall from past discussion that
this is not allowed, but it's one of those cases where my
understanding, like Hamlet's, tends to come and go with the direction
of the wind.
Finally, one other point: would it make sense to consider allowing
something other than <address> + vcard (i.e. <div> + vcard + contact)
for the contact information on a resume. <address> is quite
constraining for markup purposes: you can't put an <h1> or a <div>
inside an <address>, for instance, which means that you're pretty
much limited to <span>. You then have the choice of either using CSS
to make your various <span> elements block rather than inline, or
larding your markup with <br />. Neither solution really appeals.
