I may not have understood that. I may have misheard that. I'm sorry if I
did.
Aren't the header tags reserved for text? Is it acceptable form to place
non-textual elements only inside of header tags? Eg. <h1><img
src="image.jpg" alt="An image"></h1> ?
G'day Kat
My understanding was that he was talking about things like:
<div class="header">This is a heading on the page</div>
With a bunch of CSS to style div.header so that it is big and bold and a
different colour or something
I see that on poorly marked-up pages all the time. When folks first
start standards-based design (or even simply CSS-based layout) they
don't necessarily comprehend the value of semantics straight off
After a while, they realise that using a H1 is a much better option, but
not everyone gets that right away
It's just as likely that I misunderstood, but that was my
interpretation, anyway
