I read from other list that it's one of the net etiquette to always do so whenever you include markup in your post, so that people who read in html mode can read the markup. Even so, I always forgot to do this. 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 **

Tee G.Peng: Is it legal to place a div in .li? You'll find the answers to such questions here: http://htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/ http://htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/lists/li.html If you learn to read DTD:s the same information is in them. Here: http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/dtds.html#a_dtd_XHTML-1.0-Strict you can find this line: !ELEMENT li %Flow; in the DTD, that states that %flow; goes inside li, and following the link from %flow; provides this information: !ENTITY % Flow (#PCDATA | %block; | form | %inline; | %misc;)* A tutorial on DTD writing/reading can be found here: http://www.w3schools.com/dtd/ /AndersN ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help **
Re: [WSG] div in li
Was I not told by Mike from green-beast don't blindly rely on automated validator the other day! :) I believe that was in regard to accessibility? Unless I wasn't reading closely enough. The HTML validator has a few bugs, but I think you are safe in this situation. Unless I am mistaken, one of the only things you need to consider in cases like this is that you don't nest a block level element inside an inline element. li's are considered block level, no? I think you're good. matt www.directsteps.com ** 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 li
Hi, Is it legal to place a div in .li? Something like this .lix div it does validate/div /li 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. Thanks! 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 **

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. Ah, well, now there's a question that we can argue about! =) Seriously, IMHO it's fine, in general.
