Re: [WSG] Appropriate use of the ABBR tag and Roman Numerals
I agree. However it does have a slightly better semantic meaning than abbr, since we are really translating from one language to another here, not expanding an abbreviation, and surely more meaning than span. Patrick Lauke wrote: E Michael Brandt How about dfn title=Year 2007MMVII/dfn ? I think this may stretch the meaning of DFN. A defining instance is the occurrence of the term where the term is defined. It does not enclose the actual definition. It also should only occur once per page for each defined term. P Patrick H.

Re: [WSG] introducing a prompt to download or open a pdf
By including an icon (and a title attribute) that indicates that the pdf will open in a new window, the knowledgeable user can easily right click if she wishes to override and take some other action. That's how divaPOP works. This seems to me to be the best of both worlds: novices will see the pdf in a new window so closing that window will not lose the site, and savvy users can right-click just as they would if the link were not scripted to open in a popup.

Re: [WSG] introducing a prompt to download or open a pdf
that people who author these links without the aid of server side scripting can develop this user experience easily. Anyone seen anything like that? As it happens I offer an inexpensive script, divaPOP (both as a Dreamweaver Extension, and a Standalone script for everyone else) that does exactly that. It is an unobtrusive javascript that adds a pdf icon, right or left of the link, and opens the file in a popup window (which is my own preference since I personally lose websites all the time when I close a pdf file otherwise), all without having to add any hooks to the links at all. Optionally it also adds an icon to external links signifying that they will open in a popup window as well. It's available at http://www.divahtml.com/products/divaPOP/open_popup_windows.php I am also about to release an update that will add an option to automatically add a rel=nofollow attribute to the external links. -- E.

Re: [WSG] Lower portion of lower case y does not appear in h1 in IE7
an h1 tag within a #title tag. Does anyone have an idea why I can’t see
the lower portion of “y”?
If you rid entirely of the title div, and its styling, and use this for
your h1 styling, it ought to work better I think:
h1 {
background-color: #f29d0f;
color: #fff;
text-align: right;
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 1.4em;
padding: 0.2em 0.4em;

Re: [WSG] Target 1st item in list
Given the poor current browser css support for this, perhaps the best
thing would be to write a small bit of DOM script that would add a class
to that first li for you, on the fly, on page load. It would go
something like this:
function styleFirstLI(){ // by divaHTML.com
var d=document;
if (!d.getElementsByTagName()) return;
var zULs=d.getElementsByTagName('ul');
for (var i=0, len=zULs.length;ilen;i++){
var li=zULs[i].firstChild;
li.className='firstLI';
}
}
Watch for my typos.
Add a class 'firstLI' to your stylesheet.
Then call styleFirstLI() on page load, and of course after the uls have
been generated by your other scripts.
Hope that helps.

Re: [WSG] an inline element (inside a block element) sibling ofanother block element
Interesting. Yes i guess an a tag does not cut the mustard, as it is not a block level element. Good observation. But nonetheless, the w3c html validator says it is valid XHTML 1.0 Strict. So not currently a problem, so it would appear. -- E.

What if the extra space a paragraph tag would give is not wanted?

It appears that it is a no-no, or at least will become so. Does that mean you should go back and redo all your sites? Nope. AFAIK, every browser will handle this just fine, at least for the foreseeable future. -- E.

Re: [WSG] an inline element (inside a block element) sibling ofanother block element
I am going to disagree with my own last statement - it may be valid in the sense that it passes Validation testing online, but surely it is not semantically reasonable to have bare text. I am less sure myself about the semantics of bare a tags, but for the sake of symmetry.. -- E.
