Comments on: An Event Apart and HTML 5 http://meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/2009/01/02/an-event-apart-and-html-5/ Things that Eric A. Meyer, CSS expert, writes about on his personal Web site; it's largely Web standards and Web technology, but also various bits of culture, politics, personal observations, and other miscellaneous stuff Fri, 10 May 2013 11:50:23 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: Matera the Mad http://meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/2009/01/02/an-event-apart-and-html-5/#comment-582268 Matera the Mad Wed, 28 Sep 2011 06:10:15 +0000 http://meyerweb.com/?p=982#comment-582268 Interesting. But I wish I could read it with more than two or three words per line. IMO webdesigners need to check what their pages look like to visitors with moderate visual impairment — the sort of thing that requires zooming normal font size up to 24-30px. Margins using em are usually the problem in column width shrinkage. Great for the average user, but hell when you can’t read it comfortably either way. *Sigh*

That one came as a rather large surprise, and as a result our subscribe page is XHTML 1.0 Transitional instead of HTML 5. (Figuring out how to work around this in HTML 5 is on my post-launch list of things to do.)”

I just got stuck on this too, I was converting a valid XHTML page to HTML 5. I ended up just leaving out ‘ value=”submit” ‘ but not really sure if this is correct. Did you ever figure out a work around?

Do a search on my website and view the source to see what I mean.

[Fixed the markup in the previous comment. One of these years I'll get around to doing 'code'-bound entity translation, or at least having a "I included sample markup so please translate it!" checkbox. -E.]

I’ve been using workarounds ever since. You can see a prime example on my website’s search results template. I’m using this:

<a href="http://..." title="Read more" rel="nofollow">
Post Title
Post Date
</a>

In my CSS I did a display: none; on the so that if the search results are viewed without a stylesheet applied, they would still display in a human-readable format. This structure was the only way I saw fit since you can’t wrap an <a href="" around any other text elements. I don’t know if it’s the best way but it works.

HTML5 answers the call on this one and that makes me happy. Thanks for bringing this to light. I can’t wait to see what’s in store and I’m happy that we’re discussing this in a civil manner.

Good to know I wasn’t crazy, as well as mind-boggling that the problem to rendering lay in packet boundaries.

Requirements of the off-the-shelf scripts we’re using, Lauren. I have yet to find time to hack around their limitations.

Yes, D Ross, it’s still in HTML5 as of your comment (and this one too). Nothing has changed since the post was written.

Did the HTML5 get nixed? Maybe I missed a post explaining it has switched back?

Just checked the source and I’m not seeing it.
