No Div adds WP Strayhorn.

  • Due to increased traffic from the CSS Reboot, I have successfully upgraded an experiment page on my site to WP 1.5 Strayhorn. I know that many of you here in the WP forum are familiar with this page, but for those of you who aren’t and for those of you who have inquired about the lack of ability to comment directly on the page, here it is:

    https://www.jasonspage.net/blog/nodiv/

    For those not familiar with it, this ‘extreme experiment’ does not use div, id, span, or class to render the layout. Not even with the addition of WP 1.5 powering it (my WP blog has been using a version of the same method for about 6 months). Although I am very late in getting around to 1.5, I absolutely cannot say enough about the use of themes. I love ’em! It made it so easy for me to strip out everything to bare bones using the theme templates rather than tear through the php modules. The whole install took about an hour from start to finish. And to think that all this time I’ve been hacking away at 1.2 on my blog. Sheesh! Coming soon…my blog upgrading as well. ??

    So comment away here or there about the No Div method and it’s new set of 1.5 Strayhorn legs. We need some members to make the Web Ring a true ‘ring’ (so far I think I’m the only one…?)

  • Interesting in a “pushing the envelope” sort of way…. ‘fraid I don’t see the point though.

    As a simple theme, it’s very clean.

    I got only 1 comment… This is pretty hardcore! Kudos!

    I don’t see the point either, but good job on the design though

    pretty wicked man. much respect.

    This is waaaaaay over the bleeding edge. Really useful and really clever. Thanks.
    Just ignore the proletariat. ??

    If you can make the content come before the sidebar in the source code, I’ll really be impressed ??

    Very cool indeed…. one suggestion however….. need to define the background color of your body. I get my ugly default blue when I visit.

    Presumably ( ?? ) if you put the content in a dl as well then that could come first as we need?

    Although some don’t see the point. You can learn a lot about coding CSS y doing exercises like this just push your understanding of the way things work to the next level.

    Probably, although the content technically (semantically) shouldn’t be part of a definition list.

    @ everyone: Thanks! Keep em coming.

    @ TG: How’s it looking now?

    @ RustyIndy: I don’t understand. More Explanation?

    Well Rustys point is that for source ordering we like our content served first so most of us float content and menus as well. I know you can skip link but………

    Yup, I’m all for semantic ordering of content ??

    A standard blog layout might look like this in source:
    – header
    – main menu or navigation (if any)
    – content
    – sidebar(s)
    – footer

    And viola, a semantic source layout ??

    For example, check https://www.digitalrights.ca/ if you want. It’s laid out that way, though my CSS is still kinda messy. Haven’t had time to finish the thing ??

    Well mine always looks like that. Even with 3 columns ??

    Most people’s sites don’t though ?? And most of them should.
