How to do correct tag within tag ?

toplisek · #1 06-04-2007, 03:23 AM

I have validated code and found that there are some mistakes after validation:

PHP Code:


			
<p>My address<br />

      My text1<br />

      NY25689</p>

How to do correct next line because it gives me error that was not found even I put at the end

My address
 My text1
 NY25689 

it will automatically break it..no need for or if you really want it you can make something like this.

My address
 
 My text1
 
 NY25689

I have problem that p means paragraph. So, it is space between p tags and It should be My text1 within p. In other case it will be too much space.

There is also error when I put:
 

Is this wrong space when I implement validation?

I have at the top xhtml:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

I'm sorry then. Everything that you have posted is valid as it appears.

You might want to consider loading the test page, unlinked to the main site, and disallowed by robots.txt to most search engines, if you want us to look at it.

You are attempting to use a semantic element, a paragraph, as a margin (you want "space" between an upper and lower , yes?).

This is a sentence
 
And this is another sentence. The invisible " " acts as a vertical spacer... and this is incorrect use of the tag.

Try this instead:
In your CSS:

p {margin:14px 0 6px 0}

This creates 14-pixels margin on the TOP of every/any "", zero-pixels right and left, and a 'safety margin' of 6-pixels margin-bottom. Adjust according to needs and appearance.

p {margin:14px 0 6px 0} = p {margin:TOP - RIGHT - BOTTOM - LEFT}

Why is " " incorrect? Screen readers correctly identify this as 'a paragraph' but there is no content. No text. -How is that 'bad' (in error)?
-You're not blind, are you?

As a seeing-person, -if you bought a newspaper or book/magazine and got it home only to discover that whole entire pages inside are 100% BLANK, -no text... -wouldn't you be upset or at least, a little ...confused?? THAT is what an "empty " is to a text-to-speech/text-to-braille reader for the blind reads this as..

Another way for 'special use' of a that requires line-breaks (" ") is this:


My address 
My text1 
NY25689 

By stripping out the default or otherwise-stated margin value (I used margin:14px 0 6px 0), you get nice, tight text instead of the 14-px top and the 6-px bottom...

I'd opt for a class="this"

HTML:

Quote:

My address 
My text1 
NY25689

and CSS:

Quote:

.this {margin:3px 0 3px 0;}

You might consider using <address> instead of for that to be a little more semantically correct. It also gives you more tag diversity for styling purposes.

toplisek, that's what the stylesheet is for. Don't rely on the browser's default behaviour because they are all different.

lol@ray, it took 10 posts before someone mentioned the <address> tag to solve his address problem
