Is there no semantical reason that it's not quite legal to do so? You must forgive me asking this seemingly stupid question; the heated Alphabetical Listing Buttons thread did make me think twice how to use proper markup. tee ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help **
[WSG] div in
Hi, Is it legal to place a div in <.li>? Something like this <.li>x it does validate I am using XHTML 1.0 strict doctype and it doesn't show validate error, also, the WAI validation from content quality site doesn't give me warning or error, but I feel so uncertain about it. If you must know why I place a div tag inside the li tag - it's from the PVII image gallery script for adding description. The div tag is generated by the gallery script.

[WSG] section 508 alike link for non US site.
Hi, I was working on a site that client wants me to put a link at the footer that the site passes XHTML, CSS and accessibility validation. I aware that passing accessibility validation doesn't meant the site is fully accessibly to all user agents but this is what the client wanted and something he thought he paid for. On the other hand, I do take great care to try to make the site as accessible as possible for screen reader as well as browsers. Question is, what should I put? WCAG? It's a non-US site so I thought section 508 isn't appropriate. Client is hoping I can use something more global approach because it's a site that targets on international audiences. Thanks in advance! tee ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help **
[WSG] best cc styling !
Hi, can you tell me what is the best way to style a simple layout format for this? http://lotusseedsdesign.com/sample.jpg. There are some 20 items in the page I usually use list with float, but the right column always create problem because of the height, especially in IE, and I always use the to compensate however I feel it a bad practice. P tag with break for each line isn't' good either and I try to avoid it. Much appreciated! tee ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help **
[WSG] Question about naming CSS elements
Good evening and good morning! I remember reading an interesting thread about using lowercase for CSS element naming, but I can't seemed to find that thread from mail- archive. Vaguely I remember it was something about xml wellformness - before reading that thread, I used to use lower uppercase names, and thought it was just one's preferences. I have tried to pick up good habit since I read the thread. Was reading CSS Mastery, Advanced Web Standards Solution by Andy Budd, and it got me confused a bit. The author used lower uppercases for examples throughout the entire book. I crossed check with other CSS books I have, they all used lowercases and the only exception is in More Eric Meyer on CSS, the last chapter, project 10, Designing in the Garden, I said it was an exception because that project was for CSS Zen Garden that the code could not be altered. Not trying to stir up anything here. I simply want to learn the correct way, since that the book titled itself 'Advance Web Standards Solutions' therefor I would like to confirm what I learned from that thread is the 'correct' way, or rather, there isn't anything right or wrong as to how one names his CSS. Thank you! tee ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help **

[WSG CMS] Etomite CMS
Hi everyone, this list is very quiet. I would like to hear from those who have plenty of CMSs experiences or who are CMS developers, how do you think of Etomite CMS. Many months, I tried different type of Opensource CMS but cannot find one that I really think works for me. I need something that is web standard compliant, that can generate clean code with strict doctype and has full CSS support, more importantly, a CMS that doesn't offer too much and easy to learn to use it. Finally, I found Etomite which suites my need very well and would like to use it for all future projects. http://www.etomite.org/ tee * The CMS discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ *
