RE: [WSG] Unstyling named anchors
For IE and Firefox on PC, the styles I apply to a:link don't effect anchors.
See example http://www.damienhill.com/tests/links/

Thanks guys. Patrick is right. I'd already validated the code and it came up
fine.
The reason I've run into this little problem is because, unlike HTML, XHTML
seems to require that the a tag surrounds some text. Perhaps an nbsp;
would do it?
The named anchor is picking up the color of the a:link style.
I've currently got your standard style layout as below. I was wondering if
simply adding an a {} style with the right color would be appropriate.
a:link {}
a:visited {}
a:hover, a:active {}
How are other people preventing this, apart from hiding their anchor tags
(which I suppose is a fair enough solution.

Please correct me if I'm wrong here...
No, you're indeed correct. Up to XHTML 1.0 Strict it's perfectly valid to
use the name attribute on anchors. It's only XHTML 1.1 that deprecated it.

RE: [WSG] Unstyling named anchors
How have you applied your link styles?
a { ... }
Or
a:link, a:visited { ... }
If you style links without specifying the :link pseudo-class, then you
select all anchors - whether or not the href attribute is present.
Hope that solves the problem.
Cheers,
Damien

Hiya,
When using XHTML strict named anchors need to surround some link text, yes?
Does anyone have a standard approach to unstyling named anchors I this case
which will work cross-browser?
I'd tinkered with a[name]:hover but I'm loathe to create a style for this. I
don't think hiding them is th eoption either.
Thanks.

Check out the hcalendar microformat

It's based on the widely used iCalender format from the IEEE.

G'day all
I have been tinkering with a calendar generation script (PHP if
relevant), and have developed two versions. One uses a semantically
correct table for layout, the other uses ordered lists to hold and
layout the day names and month dates. After working on this for a
while and thinking about it for wa too long I am faced with the
quandary - which of the two versions is _more_ semantically correct?
Does a calendar (single month) qualify as tabular data, are ordered
lists a better fit, or should I be looking at another option?
Any feedback/opinions would be appreciated.

RE: [WSG] WE05
You should try to make sure you actually are using a header as a header. This is quite a mess because many web pages don't really fit the simple h1 h2 etc hierarchy. It works well for academic papers, but wenever I go to to build a website I always find myself confused as to what should be the h1. Many web pages that I make don't have one because the user already knows what the pages is about and adding another title just takes up valueable real estate. I've read different opinions on what should be in the h1, and there are a number of different options/practices. 1. Site title (ex. John's website) 2. Page/document title (ex. Contact me) 3. Combination (ex. John's website - Contact me) 4. Something else? Which do you think is the most appropriate? Or does it depend on the site? There's a good article on Andy Budd's site about headings: http://www.andybudd.com/archives/2005/02/heading_elements_semantics_and_the_ spec/index.php Damien ** 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] Floating dl problem - Indented text
I have run into a problem with IE6 (surprise!) when floating a dl to the right of content that is not contained in a p tag. On the first line of the content, there is a 10 pixel indent that isn't meant to be there. The code works fine in Firefox. Example code: dl style=float: right; margin: 0 0 0.8em 0.8em; dtimg //dt ddCaption goes here/dd /dl Some content goes here that isn't contained in a p tag... I realise that it is incorrect to include content without a p tag, but a CMS we are currently working with is forcing us to make allowances for this situation. Does anybody know what is causing this? Is it a known bug in IE and is there a solution? An example of the problem I am having: http://www.damienhill.com/tests/floats/ Thanks, Damien Hill ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help **
