Peter, Yes, I agree, the Jetstar classnames are incomprehensible.
I'm currently writing the styleguide for BHP Billiton's site templates, and I am including in it a section on div id's and classes, and what they represent. Information in this section includes how the different divs work in the context of the page, and in context with other divs, basic outlining of how the the divs structure and inheritance works and I've made sure our naming conventions for id's and classes can be read and understood by people who weren't involved in the project. ---- Original Message ---- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [WSG] classguide Date: Fri, 27 Feb 2004 11:19:51 +1100 >hiya, > >I noticed that the much publicized new qantas airline - >http://www.jetstar.com/ <http://www.jetstar.com/> - launched their >site >with a css layout. >I havent had a real look at the code, but my question is more about >class >and id names. when you have a pretty complicated site and you end up >using >some sort of naming convention for classes/ids like they have on >jetstar >such as: > >class="c1FsFc" > >...that classname obviously means something to the web team at >jetstar but >no one else. does anyone put together a document on handover >detailing what >everything means in their css to aid any changes down the track that >someone >else may have to make? kinda like a "classguide" as opposed to a >styleguide? >it'd involve layout classes and stuff aswell - so wouldn't be as easy >as >just a page with an example of each style applied to a bit of text >... > >interested if anyone has this sort of thing or similar built into >their >process and any experiences youve had.. ? > >pete Regards, David McDonald Web Designer http://www.davidmcdonald.org ***************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ *****************************************************
