Re: [uf-discuss] Microformats to describe a broadcast
Hi Tom, Is anyone aware of any other programme guides which have employed the hCalendar microformat to date? I note that this doesn't seem to have been acheived in the current BBC listings. We've got hCalendar on all of Yahoo's UK TV listings: • http://uk.tv.yahoo.com/listings/2008-07-11/20-30/ • http://uk.tv.yahoo.com/listings/2008-07-11/20-30/by-hour/ • http://uk.tv.yahoo.com/listings/bbc-1/2008-07-11/ We implemented it using a somewhat icky hack (an empty ABBR element with the ISO date in the title), but it parses in most parsers whislt not exposing the ISO date as a tooltip to browsers. Most recent testing suggests that it will still be revealed in screen readers set to read ABBR titles though, which is unfortunate. Oh, there's a bug in our output that's putting a translation string (%z) into the ISO date where the timezone should go. That'll be fixed shortly!
