RE: [WSG] Markup question

I would agree with this. The numbering is not truly ordinal and you'll possibly want to add sub elements in the future. Further, I would agree that a definition list is more appropriate that too many headings. dl dtblah blah blah/dt ddem1./em text/dd ddem2./em /dl Now, this can be modified. You

[WSG] Appropriate use of the ABBR tag and Roman Numerals

Re: [WSG] Javascript based ASP Form Mail script?

You're better off asking your web host about that one. ASP usually needs a 3rd party component to send email reliably. I've seen CDONTS turned off many times. My old ASP scripts use the SmartMail component which has been discontinued by the creator. If you mean ASP.NET thats another story.

RE: [WSG] Appropriate use of the ABBR tag and Roman Numerals

May I just follow on to Patrick's astute advice. A very common misconception standards/accessibility designers/developers have is that the title attribute, regardless of the element it resides in, is turned on/activated by default in most assistive technology devices. It's not. From my experience

I agree. However it does have a slightly better semantic meaning than abbr, since we are really translating from one language to another here, not expanding an abbreviation, and surely more meaning than span. Patrick Lauke wrote: E Michael Brandt How about dfn title=Year 2007MMVII/dfn ?
