Re: [WSG] Interview markup?
Oops, sorry I wasn't more specific I meant a large interview that takes up an entire article, something like this: http://www.macthemes.net/articles/insider/000189.php (Note: I'm not a staff member or anything of MacThemes.) They've used bold tags to indicate the interviewer's questions, and regular text to indicate the interviewee's answer. However, I'd like a more semantic way of doing it, if there is one (I'm not sure if definition lists would be overkill, but everybody seems to be using them for just about everything these days). -Sage On Sep 4, 2004, at 1:37 PM, Lennart Fylling wrote: Sage Olson wrote: What is the most semantic way to markup an interview?

[WSG] Meta tag question
If you specify an xml:lang attribute in the html tag, do you still have to use a meta tag to specify the content-language for the document? ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ Proud presenters of Web Essentials 04 http://we04.com/ Web standards, accessibility, inspiration, knowledge To be held in Sydney, September 30 and October 1, 2004 See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help **
Re: [WSG] What to do when an External Link won't Validate?
You need to encode your ampersands as amp;
For example, this:
http://domain.com/foo.php?barcar
Should be changed to this:
http://domain.com/foo.php?baramp;car

I have a site I am working on. All the pages I've created validate

An external link to another site doesn't validate (line 40). I get
several errors. Is there anything I can do to make the page validate
or is it a lost cause since I don't control the external site I'm
linking to?
Thank you in advance.

Re: [WSG] title, can it be used on a label
I do that myself, and it works wonderfully. The title attribute is extremely well supported, including IE. BTW, you might want to give some visual cue that the user can hover over it... I put a faint gray line underneath such elements (marked with a span), and also bring in the help cursor.

We have a form and we used to use a popup window to offer more information about a field. For instance, when answering the question Initial Deposit Date, if you weren't sure what to put in the box, you could click on the question mark and a window would pop-up (javascript enabled) or a new window would open with a deeplink to a section that would describe the answer. Both of these are clumsy. What I'd like to do is apply the title attribute to the label for an input or select item. for instance label for=departdate title=Enter the date you will be departing on your trip input name=departdate id=departdate I've tried this out and it works in Firefox and IE6. When the mouse is placed over the input, the tool-tip window pops up with the information.In my dreamweaver, it sends caution flags, probably because it is not supported in multiple browsers. * The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help *

That's not so. Safari (v125.8 anyway) puts titles in a tooltip, and has always done so for as long as I can remember... I've never seen any browser do otherwise (at least Safari, Firefox, and IE). * 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] hand coding versus code generators
Like others, I use Dreamweaver, but only its code view... I don't even use the Split Code/Design view anymore, because it can't handle CSS that well. For writing straight code though, DW has a lot of nice touches... the excellent syntax coloring (REALLY helpful when scanning through your code), the Autocomplete, and Find/Replace. Also, the integrated FTP program works brilliantly Instead of switching to another program to go upload your files, you just hit Command+Shift+U, and *bam*, it's up! The one and only problem I have with DW is that it won't let me upload .htaccess files, but other FTP programs do. -Sage On Jul 5, 2004, at 3:49 AM, simon @ london web mill wrote: Im a new boy to the discussion group.

What Im not so sure about is using a code generator eg. Dreamweaver. Ive always hand coded my HTML, javascript, ASP, SQLetc using a text editor (past 4 years). What do people think about hand coding versus code generators? What percentage of developers totally hand code, use both, use only code generators? regards Simon * 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] Character Encoding Mismatch
When I validate my page, I get the following message (which doesn't invalidate the page, but I still want to fix it): The character encoding specified in the HTTP header (utf-8) is different from the value in the meta element (iso-8859-1). I will use the value from the HTTP header (utf-8) for this validation. Here's my header: !DOCTYPE html PUBLIC -//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd; html xmlns=http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml; xml:lang=en And here's the meta tag: meta http-equiv=Content-Type content=text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 / I'd like to keep the iso-8859-1 value, just because it seems to work better with some characters on my page, but how do I change the header to match it? Or would I be better off just changing to a UTF-8 encoding? Thanks, -Sage [BTW, if you can't tell, I mostly don't know what I'm talking about, so educate me as you see fit ;-) ]. * The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help *
