 | The HGROUP element in HTML5 is one of my favorite. You might be surprised by this because it doesn't really seem to "do" anything. After all, if you add HGROUP to your pages, web browsers will display the pages exactly the same way. But I am an organization freak. I often write an outline first before doing any full blown writing. But outlines are written with one headline per level, and when I write, I often like to create a headline and sub-head that go together. The HGROUP element helps me keep my pages organized and keep the outlines looking clear. But this week I'm covering more than just HGROUP. I'm sure most of you are more interested in the second featured article on CSS3 shadows. There are two style properties that make shadows much easier. Finally, I've included a reboot of an article that most sites need to think about eventually - how to make it more internationally friendly. Did you know that I've been writing about HTML, CSS, and web design since 1997? I have hundreds if not thousands of articles on the site that have just as much relevance today as they did when I first wrote them. You can find them by searching the site, or more simply by browsing my article library. And if you can't find the answer to your question, you can always suggest an article or ask a question in my web design and HTML forums. Please forward this newsletter, in its entirety, to your colleagues, coworkers and friends, anyone you think would like to learn more about web design, HTML, and web development. | |
