Ridiculous!

23 Jul 2004

I feel ridiculous! Last night I discovered the existance of the <dl>, <dt> and <dd> tags! I suppose rediscovered would be more accurate – I’d seen them before, it just never occurred to me where I might use them… Reading my way through Dan Cederholm’s book; there they were! So, after several years of building table-less forms with great wodges of <div>s, <span>s and liberal helpings of class, I’ll be able to significantly prune my markup.

It’s come at a good time; I’m working my way through Selector’s online products and teasing them into XHTML 1.0 Transitional and CSS validatable markup. So far the Selector Measure of Resilience meets the standards with the other products and a Web site re-launch hot on its heels. Exciting times.
