Click to See Complete Forum and Search --> : Question for Pyro
I was browsing your site's xhtml, and had a question on the line:
<link rel="help" href="http://www.ryanbrill.com/sitemap.php" title="Site Map." />
I looked @ w3schools and they said that this means sitemap.php is relative to help, but how is this important? does it do anything for the page, or is just for reference for robots and such?
Thanks,
Sam
also, on your navbar, access keys don't seem to be working (granted I've never seen them before) but it sounds like a cool feature, wondering if its something I need to enable via my browser...

You need to do Alt+key if you want to use the access keys...
ah, I see. I tried Alt+s, but my my browser has a built in kb shortcut to open google w/ that keystroke, so I assumed it wasn't alt, thanks a bunch, I'll have to implement this some time.

Help is one of the standard link types specified in the W3C HTML Recommendations - see http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/types.html#type-links. It is designed to provide additional information to browsers, etc, though it is not used as much as it could be. For example, Mozilla/Firebird/Firefox can display a list of links in the document, including such "related links".

I see, thank you very much
on more question, why use an unordered list for the nav, I've noticed a lot of sites doing this lately...
Sounds like others have answered most of your questions, so I'll just hit your last one. It mostly has to do with how accessible the links are/how they will be displayed to browsers that do not receive the CSS (4.0 browsers and less). Since we are basically just providing a list of links, we should mark it up as such. You may be interested in this article (http://www.alistapart.com/articles/taminglists/), as it helps explain it.
I see, that makes much more sense now, thanks for the help
