Allright wise guys…

wokring on a project where we try to take semantic markup pretty
seriously…

one of my co-workers challenged me…

whats the right way to write the follwoing in nice html??

Username: john doe
Adress: somewhere out there 32
Age: 23

Now if this was a form, i would use labels…but in this case???

TIA

You can use a definition list:

foo
bar
...

Is this one of Dan Cederholm’s Simple Quizzes?

Some would say that using microformats is the way to go with this:

http://www.microformats.org/

You’ll find specs for address (adr) and the hCard which includes bday.

So then where are the “semantics”? :slight_smile:

Rick…can you have dt/dd without a dl??

I’m guessing you could use the microformats with these elements if
you like.
