I believe it would be helpful for accessibility reasons.
Think of it like a caption attribute on a table. It gives a description of the
relationship of the group of child elements.

Hello WSG,
I'm working on a simple WordPress template for a charity-race I'm
involved in.
http://www.ThunderDownUnder.co.nz/
I want to use conditional comments to include a link to a IE only
stylesheet to fix issues with IE 7.
So in my head I'm using:
!--[if IE lt 7]
link

Well, semantically you have a nested un-ordered list. So in your case it
would result in something like:
ul
liItem
ul
liItem
ul
liItem
ul
I've found it doesn't affect the printed page, just the print preview.

Title: Doctype Strict JS drop down menus IE
I find that strange, Ive only ever
had that warning on local content.
If I were to guess Id suggest you
werent enclosing in-page scripts with ![CDATA[ tags as the
document in XHTML script section must be CDATA blocks.
- Adam
The only other thing I might want to see from an XHTML point of view is
some legends on the fieldsets.
Also, small note, there seems to be a bit of in page scripting that
looks like it could live in external .js files - which would be better
for caching.
Looking great though! Good improvement
One more suggestion I had was to add a
blur() on your tabbed table in the top right hand corner.

I'm quite surprised by your students home-work assignment questions in
your second part.
I would have though kids learning web-dev these days would find it hard
to find resources/tutorials that use out of fashion tags such as font
and inline styles.

I'm the first one to fight for semantic code, but I thought I'd play devils
advocate this morning.
You can be pragmatic about such things (using tables) - for instance from
Gaspar's example, (0.4%*2)*26 + (26*3%) = 98.8% - which isn't 100%, thereby
illustrating some of the limitations of CSS.
Padding is spelt with 2 d's, not 3 (paddding: 0 0 0 0;)

Here's how it tests out on a Mac:
I think you're right. FF is rendering it correctly, as the LI and IMG
block-elements are jutting up to each other.
The easiest way I can think of solving it would be to place the image within
the LI.

So I use PascalCase for classes and camelCase for ID's.
What's the benefits of using PascalCase for classes? It's not as if you
don't know which is which, id= and class= are pretty apparent.
I'd say camelCase for sure. But I have been brought up on C, C++, Java,
and I still insist on it in C#.

The problem I see with headings and paragraphs is that there is no
semantic boundaries/delimiters.
One of the advantages of using a list is - IMHO - that we know where
it
starts and where it finishes.
Being inside a UL/LI would solve that problem.
I think the UL is just as justifiable as

Agreed. Legends are unfortunately lacking in styleability (to coin the

What I generally do in this situation is to replicate the legend using a
