[WSG] Re: Html markup suggestions
Hi Shaun, I agree with you that the microformats.org offerings are less than helpful. One visits the site expecting that we are all going to work together to establish uniform mark up for elements that will be used again and again, but the information isn't presented as such. Rather it is presented as suggestions and results of "googling". This page has the most relevant offerings for naming markup, relevant to books: http://microformats.org/wiki/book-info-examples However, one would certainly expect more. Intuitively, one would expect the documentation to say "booktitle" and "bookauthor" and such... Perhaps once you complete your mark up you'll have something to add to the wiki examples. :) Jen * From: Porkandpaws Date: Tue, 10 Feb 2009 21:25:55 + Subject: Re: Html markup suggestions Hi All I am looking to mark up the following information relating to books Book title Author Cover image ISBN I would like to do this in the most semantic rich way that potentially could be programatically extracted There are no existing microformats suitable for this and I do not know of any drafts. Would anyone care to offer any suggestions Many thanks in anticipation Shaun *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org ***
[WSG] Re: Strange Bottom Margin on Floated Elements I Can't Get Rid of
Cole, you still have margin on your a element. If you set your bottom margin on your a to 0, you'll probably be happy. For troubleshooting purposes, put a "border:thin solid blue;" around an element, and that way you see the space it occupies, then do the same, but change the color to red, for another possible element. It really helps. Or you can use Firefox Firebug, and it will do it for you.

I've got a small but annoying problem I can't seem to solve. I've got six test thumbnail images wrapped inside of hrefs. All six hrefs are floated left within a containing div. The div can only accommodate 4 of these href'd images per row so images 5 and 6 break to a second row - which is fine. My issue is this strange margin-type space that is appearing below each href - since I've set margins and padding to '0' for both images and hrefs, I don't understand what in the world is causing this anomaly. My CSS is VERY simple and straight forward but nothing I try will eliminate this bottom margin. Can someone please help me see the error of my ways? Live sample is posted here: http://www.koisis.com/problems/float_space/tester.htm Great appreciation to all in advance! Cole PS: IN IE7 there is no whitespace at the bottom of these elements, but in FireFox (et. al) there is.

[WSG] Re: breaks, lists in a form or not, and more or less divs
Regarding how to present a poem, I've had to research this a few times and another option was to use definition lists. I hadn't discovered using the pre element. So I looked it up (below). It does seem like it could be a perfect solution... hmmm... THE PRE ELEMENT W3C info: Preformatted text: The PRE elementPreformats text with fixed- width font, preserves the given white-space and line-breaks, usually disables automatic word-wrapping. Used in the code examples on this page, for example: Like the BR element, though, the PRE element has been abused and used to force line breaks for text formatting when CSS and other elements can be used appropriately instead. Just like I mention about the BR element, use the PRE element judiciously. *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org ***

David, that business was from the PRE ELEMENT definition from the w3c, not a suggestion for the poem formatting. ~ Jen On Dec 8, 2009, at 3:48 PM, wrote: is not an inline element, so you can't do this. -- David Dorward http://dorward.me.uk *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org ***
