Heading structure

[Beauregard T. Shagnasty]

I do not have my own server, my site is on a webhost.

The server that you rent space on. You know what I mean.

<div id="head"><h1>Översättning ...[trim] - italienska</h1></div>

See the <div> at the beginning and the </div> at the end? This
does not conform to the sample at the W3C page.

Well, actually I am not sure whether it does but just because I am
not, I suppose that it is better to put it rather than not, just
now. When I said one more I did not mean just the closing tag.

I'm sorry, I don't understand Swedish. Was that Swedish?

And you still have the redundant <div>'s around your <h1>.

 

[Toby Inkster]

What if you had a sentence in which you wanted to show in different size
print, a specific word?
You could not use an <h> tag due to the inherit nature of the tag.

Do you mean that you believe you can't do this?

<h1 style="font-size:9px">Tiny text (probably)</h1>

 

[Toby Inkster]

Why is the <h1> in a <div> by itself?

It's not needed, but can be handy for styling.

<div id="head"><h1>Foobar</h1></div>

#head {
background: blue url("foo") no-repeat scroll center left;
}
h1 {
background: transparent url("bar") no-repeat scroll center right;
text-align: center;
padding: 0.33em 60px 0.67em;
margin: 0;
}

.... will display the heading "Foobar" with a picture of a Foo to the left
of the heading, and a picture of a Bar to the right, all on a blue
background.

Yup, I know that. csszengarden does things like that. But Luigi
doesn't have any fancy styles on his headings. <g>

<h1>aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa<h3>bbbbbbbbbbbb</h3>aaaaaaaa</h1>
This produces 3 lines of printed text rather than one.
As the header tag produces a dual line break at the closure.

<h1> is a tag.

Yes, but <h1> on its own is useless. You need <h1>some text</h1>, in
which case this is an element.

Please look up the definition of "typo".

Really didn't mean that to be sarcastic, just wasn't sure if that
would work if he had closed <h1> with </h2> - I know I've had typos in
my html that stop it from working correctly

Yes.

But if you have a <div> for the header you still have the possibility to
style the heading as
Toby did in his example.

 

[Beauregard T. Shagnasty]

The content of the heading? Yes.

No, that nearly unparsable paragraph just above.

But why bother unless you are going to actually do that?

 

[Toby Inkster]

But why bother unless you are going to actually do that?

Because you don't know when you might need to change your site style?

 

[Luigi Donatello Asero]

What do you not understand?

Exactly
