Hi all,

Does anyone know of a set of naming conventions for css classes and ids? Should they have semantic meaning? I.E. “address” rather than “bottom”.

How should you go about naming the “right column” div.

<div id=”right-col”></div>
<div id=”right_col”></div>
<div id=”right-column”></div>
<div id=”right_column”></div>
<div id=”rightcol”></div>
<div id=”rightcolumn”></div>
<div id=”right”></div>

What about for file names.

naming_conventions.html
naming-conventions.html
namingconventions.html
namingConventions.html
conventions.html

I tend to use underscore for class and id, try very much to stay away from two word file names.

Also, I have noticed that many people use directories and the index of each rather than file names. I.E. http://www.companyname.com.au/stuff/conventions

Is this for accessibility?

Sorry about the question of three parts, but what do guys you think?
