Re: [WSG] Including a DIV element inside an HREF tag

One alternative is perhaps to replace all block elements inside the a element into inline ones... Or the other would be to use javascript, and bind an onclick event onto the div. On Wed, Nov 4, 2009 at 11:51 PM, James O'Neill freexe...@gmail.com wrote: If you are worried about validation an

[WSG] using skip links

Hi all, I am to build templates for a page, and below is a pseudo example of my code order: -skip to #content- [div#navigation] a name=content/a [h1] [div#promotion] [div.content] I've always believed my h1 should always come after the 'content' anchor (or within a #content div), so when screen

[WSG] Implication of empty divs

Hi all, Are there any (seriously) bad implications of having empty DIVs around your HTML document? I try to avoid using them personally, but there are cases where the visual design has forced me to add empty divs (or spans) just to achieve the look. Apart from adding extra weight and cluttering

[WSG] issues with too many divs

Hi all, I'm not a fan of having too many DIVs on a page, but due to complicated background designs, I'm forced to use additional wrapper DIVs just to achieve the look. Are there any major downfall in doing so apart from increasing page size? I'd like to be able to convince our designer to

[WSG] headings to divide sections

Hi all, I know it's a good idea to have skipping links at the top of your HTML ('main content' section, 'main navigation' section), but does it help to have a heading to those sections as well? So for example: a href=#mainNavFirst level navigation/a div id=mainNav h2First level navigation/h2 ul

Hi all, I'm having trouble deciding whether to begin coding using CSS3, such as using (but not limited to) opacity. Although the CSS validator returns an error, but it claims it'll be supported in CSS3. As far as i know, FF2, FF3, Opera and Safari already renders the opacity property, leaving
