[WSG] Is this a good use of dl
On the W3C website they give a first example of a definition list with terms (dt) and definitions (dd) but then give another example where dt is a speaker and dd is the speech so they concede that it is legitimate where the logic is similar. But does the following make sense and is it accessible? It does validate. h2Contacts/h2 dl dt class=firstJohn Smith/dt dd class=first dl dtAddress:/dt dd p13 My Road br /MyTown br /MyCounty AB1 2CD /p /dd dtPhone/fax:/dt ddp01234 567 890/p/dd dtMobile:/dt ddp07890 123456/p/dd dtEmail:/dt ddpa href=[EMAIL PROTECTED][EMAIL PROTECTED]/a/p/dd dtskype:/dt ddp my skype/p/dd /dl /dd /dl Kind Regards -- Chris Price Choctaw [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.choctaw.co.uk Tel. 01524 825 245 Mob. 0777 451 4488 Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder while Excellence is in the Hand of the Professional ~~~ -+- Sent on behalf of Choctaw Media Ltd -+- ~~~ Choctaw Media Limited is a company registered in England and Wales with company number 04627649 Registered Office: Lonsdale Partners, Priory Close, St Mary's Gate, Lancaster LA1 1XB United Kingdom *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***
Re: [WSG] Is this a good use of dl
Hey Cris, Well, I don't know man... but I think the list inside the list is just unnecessary. You could put the name inside dt and general description in dd. You could use br / or anything or else too... If I am not wrong, W3C says you can do that. Well, that's just my opinion, let's see what the other members have to say about it.

My reasoning for that is that everything is a description of the person but the street and city are descriptions of the address. If I have the name as a term and then address as a description, the address elements then become descriptions of a description. An alternative would have been to have Contact as a term and John Smith as a description then Address, Email etc. would be at the same level and there would be no sublist. That would be logical but not give me what I want.
