RE: [WSG] Semantically creating 'pipes' for footer links

[Geoff Deering]

I think this is a weakness and failing in the CSS spec.  I feel designers should be able to assign any (relevant) ASCII character or Special Character set to list elements.    › and » would be good to be able to use as well.  Because designers do this anyway, I've seen it.  You have to make the tool kit available to give them a chance to be semantically correct, otherwise they are forced to add semi-garbage.   They should have added this in the CSS spec.   ---- Geoff -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Trusz, Andrew Sent: Tuesday, 5 October 2004 10:29 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [WSG] Semantically creating 'pipes' for footer links     From: i] On Behalf Of Richard Czeiger Subject: [WSG] Semantically creating 'pipes' for footer links   Hi guys,   I'm putting together a semantically correct UL of links for my footer. I'd like to have them separated by 'pipes' as this is a common and easily recognised technique. But the pipes themselves are irrelevant (semantically). So here's what I've come up with...     Why not save yourself all the trouble and just use the ascii vertical bar "|" for the pipe?   drew
