  186. [16:58:27] <nickshanks> continuing from other channel:
  187. [16:58:33] <nickshanks> "Rel-Tag is one of several MicroFormats. By adding rel="tag" to a hyperlink, a page indicates that the destination of that hyperlink is an author-designated "tag" (or keyword/subject) for the current page. Note that a tag may just refer to a major portion of the current page (i.e. a blog post)"
  188. [16:58:54] <nickshanks> at what point does major become minor?
  189. [16:59:05] <tantek> nickshanks, to summarize the href in a rel-tag link *does* refer to the entire page at that href as defining what the tag means, whereas the presence of the rel-tag hyperlink in context labels that content (i.e. a blog post, hCard, hCalendar event, hReview, etc.) as being "tagged" with that label/category
  190. [17:00:42] <nickshanks> i'm not talking about the href, I am asking how can the scope of a tag be constrained, as i don't see a definitive way other than some fuzzy interpretation looking for <div class="post"> or suchlike

  192. [17:00:56] <gsnedders> nickshanks: the difference between putting it on <link> and <a>
  193. [17:01:03] <tantek> at what point does major become minor? that sounds like a theoretical question. i'd suggest a concrete example to reason from. and then that's definitely worth a question to the microformats-discuss list.
  194. [17:01:10] <tantek> thanks.
  195. [17:01:16] <gsnedders> (that's my understanding at least, I could be wrong)
  196. [17:01:43] <tantek> gsnedders, putting it on <link> is discouraged anyway since that would be invisible metadata (no better than meta keywords which are useless)
  197. [17:02:07] <gsnedders> it's been ages since I read the rel-tag spec, and I never did so in much detail anyway
  198. [17:02:24] <nickshanks> for example, an index.php with one post on, the page has the same content (and so the tags have the same importance for that page) as the permalink of that post
  199. [17:02:40] <nickshanks> a little later on that index.php now lists 35 posts
  200. [17:03:21] * Prometheus^ (n=Promethe@kone1.tmvvision.finnetcom.net) Quit ()
  201. [17:03:34] <nickshanks> each having tags. on the permalink pages for each post, the tag is 100% relevant, but on the index page it's not only 100/35 % relevant
  202. [17:03:55] <nickshanks> not only -> now only
  203. [17:05:15] <nickshanks> and a rel-tag processor would need some heuristics to determine where a post begins/ends on such index pages, perhaps to link to that specific fragment
  204. [17:07:50] <nickshanks> displayers of tagged content will get cluttered up with two pages for the same content (unless they are smart enough to cull one)
  205. [17:09:16] <bengee> not heuristics, nickshanks, but a hardcoded list of possible containers to disambiguate the scope of a tag
  206. [17:09:58] <nickshanks> bengee: who decides what handcoded list that is, what if it needs amending later?
  207. [17:10:26] <nickshanks> that smacks of doctype sniffing to me, a workaround/hack rather than a solution
  208. [17:10:40] <bengee> the mf specs have a "disambiguation rules" section, I think
  209. [17:11:19] <nickshanks> i can't see anything on http://microformats.org/wiki/rel-tag
  210. [17:13:59] <bengee> this stuff is the only flaw I could identify in MFs (compared to eRDF for example) so far but it's clearly a painful one as a mf parser has to know sort of all formats, i.e. the syntax rules are in flux :(
  211. [17:14:47] <nickshanks> the only way i can see of disambiguating it is to have a tag associated with an enclosing <article> element
  212. [17:15:04] <nickshanks> which sadly doesn't exist yet
  213. [17:15:41] <tantek> there is no need to do the disambiguation because regardless of the scope used, the rel-tag is still a correct semantic
  214. [17:15:57] <tantek> it is essentially simply saying, something on this page has the tag of whatever
  215. [17:16:01] <tantek> that semantic is correct regardless
  216. [17:16:15] <tantek> of course a more precise semantic can be inferred if the parser supports more microformats
  217. [17:16:20] <tantek> but that is always the case
  218. [17:17:43] <bengee> yeah, right
  219. [17:17:55] * Cloud (n=Cloud@deri-wg1-2.nuigalway.ie) Quit ()
  220. [17:19:32] <nickshanks> hmm, i think of tags as saying "this resource concerns x" rather than "something within this resource concerns x"
  221. [17:20:47] <nickshanks> as a tag indexer would associate the URL of the resource with the tag
  222. [17:21:00] <bengee> looks like rel-tag per se doesn't give you this granularity
  223. [17:21:37] <bengee> a hReview parser however could try to identify review tags, though, etc.
  224. [17:25:42] <nickshanks> in short, do you think it would be a good idea to advise against including tags on a blog front page, only on the permalink pages?

  227. [17:28:32] <bengee> I've put them on my channel views as well, but my parser supports the disambiguation/scope detection stuff
  228. [17:28:58] <tantek> "this resource contains x" and "something within this resource concerns x" are the same semantic
  229. [17:29:20] <tantek> look at books for example with keywords in the front
  230. [17:29:40] <tantek> it's the same semantic as tags
  231. [17:29:50] <tantek> even though not every chapter may be about every keyword
  232. [17:32:02] <nickshanks> there's no means to determine if a keyword concerns 95% or 5% of the page though
  233. [17:32:09] <nickshanks> which i think is important
  234. [17:32:17] <nickshanks> (maybe i'm wrong)
  235. [17:32:36] <tantek> it is only as important as you want to spend time on
  236. [17:33:01] <tantek> the more important you think it is for your specific application, the more microformats you should support parsing and thus determining the finer granularity thereof
  237. [17:33:05] <nickshanks> but for people using tags to find information, they don't want to wade through unrelated stuff
  238. [17:33:21] <tantek> you don't see many books where each chapter is individually tagged do you?
  239. [17:33:30] <tantek> so it must not be *that* important to most people
  240. [17:33:35] * jammie_ wonders into the room,
  241. [17:33:44] <tantek> the market determines how important (or not) it is
  242. [17:33:58] <nickshanks> i don't see books that are tagged, but lots of scientific papers
  243. [17:34:07] <tantek> right, there is a spectrum
  244. [17:34:09] <tantek> that's the point
  245. [17:34:21] <nickshanks> and they have 2-5 tags and usually they concern the whole paper
  246. [17:34:30] <jammie_> most webpages (now) are not scietific papers,
  247. [17:34:31] <tantek> and how many of them tag each page?
  248. [17:34:37] <nickshanks> none
  249. [17:34:39] <tantek> each page of each scientific paper
  250. [17:34:42] <tantek> my point exactly
  251. [17:34:52] <tantek> so clearly a super-fine granularity is not something that most consider that important
  252. [17:34:55] <tantek> but some might
  253. [17:35:00] <tantek> and they can do more parsing accordingly
  254. [17:35:27] <pawlik> tantek: i've heard your speech at carsonworkshops, greate job I must admit. ;)
  255. [17:35:42] <jammie_> tantek: can i ask you a question regarding pharseing?
  256. [17:36:19] <tantek> fwiw - most books, on the copyright page near the front where they also give the ISBN number, have a section like
  257. [17:36:35] <tantek> 1. subject A. 2. subject B. 3. subject C
  258. [17:36:37] <tantek> etc.
  259. [17:36:39] <tantek> most books are "tagged" as such
  260. [17:36:50] <nickshanks> ok, i don't read those pages :)
  261. [17:37:10] <tantek> nickshanks - yes, they are equivalent to the <head> tag and <meta> keywords :)
  262. [17:37:15] <tantek> most people don't read them :)
  263. [17:37:18] <tantek> pawlik - thanks for your kind words!
  264. [17:37:38] <pawlik> np, it's just pure truth
  265. [17:37:42] <tantek> jammie_ - go ahead and ask question here in the channel - I have to run for now, but hopefully someone will be able to answer them.
  266. [17:37:48] <jammie_> i have seen them on andy budds books,

  272. [17:38:42] <jammie_> I have now had some succsesss and i was wondering what the next step way
  273. [17:39:25] <nickshanks> you wouldn't tag the magazine Science with thousands of tags to indicate every subject it has contained
  274. [17:39:33] <nickshanks> which is what idex pages with lots of tags do
  275. [17:39:58] <jammie_> however, the science site would like a thousand tags, and sub tags,
  276. [17:40:05] <jammie_> main tag: biology
  277. [17:40:06] <nickshanks> you would try to refine it down to at least each issue
  278. [17:40:10] <jammie_> sub tag DNA
  279. [17:40:33] <jammie_> sub tag Neclotide structure
  280. [17:40:48] <nickshanks> and if it were online, each article could be hyperlinked to
  281. [17:40:59] <jammie_> sub tag Duo Bonding and Emerating: for example.
  282. [17:41:04] <jammie_> yeah, that does make sense,
  283. [17:42:15] <nickshanks> my point being which rel-tag defined as it is, http://www.sciencemag.org/ could have every conceivable tag applied to it
  284. [17:42:22] <nickshanks> that specific URL
  285. [17:42:34] <jammie_> true,
  286. [17:42:43] <jammie_> however, that the homepage,
  287. [17:43:08] <jammie_> so, instead i would only tag it as a science, magazine, journals (if they have them) ect
  288. [17:43:19] <jammie_> then, when navagating to each page then be more specific,
  289. [17:43:23] <nickshanks> i ask that if a resource links to the same content or an expansion of that content (more… link) then the tags should be *moved* onto that page, not *copied*
  290. [17:43:49] <jammie_> not sure, brb
  291. [17:44:38] <jammie_> sorry, back,
  292. [17:44:46] <jammie_> lets say, i am on my blog,
  293. [17:45:05] <jammie_> and i wish to link to the autims site i go to aot,
  294. [17:45:23] <jammie_> I would be happy to tag, my site (and thus the link) to autism.
  295. [17:45:39] <jammie_> but, not, wrongplanet - name of the site

  297. [17:47:21] <jammie_> On my hCard, i have the tag "autistic" but, that does not mean i would like myself link with "cure Autism now"
  298. [17:48:17] <jammie_> although, under somthing like microformats search ect, i might in nthe same search?
  299. [17:48:24] <jammie_> does that explain what i mean?
  300. [17:48:28] <Ronnos> isn't there an iso standard that can be usefull while tagging?
  301. [17:48:43] <jammie_> not sure Ronnos
  302. [17:48:44] <Ronnos> i've read about some standards in a Information Architecture book
  303. [17:48:53] <Ronnos> like they do in the library
  304. [17:49:01] <jammie_> Ronnos: trouble is the web is a non flat structure,
  305. [17:49:08] <jammie_> most libery are flat struterd.
  306. [17:49:24] <Ronnos> but, webcontent can be categorized too
  307. [17:49:28] <jammie_> yes,
  308. [17:49:37] <nickshanks> jammie_: i didn't really understand that one, sorry
  309. [17:49:49] <jammie_> it is, but it a different I thing
  310. [17:49:53] <jammie_> IA thing rather,
  311. [17:50:09] <jammie_> in a lib, you could search foor books on "golf"
  312. [17:50:21] <jammie_> and, if like in the UK, it searchs national liberys
  313. [17:50:48] <jammie_> howerver it doe not find groups to do with golf,
  314. [17:51:18] <jammie_> or would be able to tell you "itself" in the search as a result the words inside the book.
  315. [17:51:34] <jammie_> so, the lebery is flat.
  316. [17:51:46] <jammie_> the web includes that data, therefor it is not flat.
  317. [17:52:20] <jammie_> this is where my study into it ends, we then studeid how books shops keep stock levels undercontrol with statistic.
  318. [17:52:31] <Ronnos> lol
  319. [17:52:55] <jammie_> did you know it is not uncommon to have been "expected" in a bookshop to buy that book even if you were not planning, due to quadratics, and phi....

  325. [17:53:49] <jammie_> yeah,

  464. [20:40:26] <factoryjoe> yup
  465. [20:41:45] <factoryjoe> also: http://www.jasongraphix.com/sandbox/hcard/
  466. [20:42:37] <pawlik> :o
  467. [20:43:17] <mkaply> factoryjoe: That's interesting. One of the things I've been toying with is adding a sidebar so that actions can be performed on multiple microformats at the sametime
  468. [20:43:41] <factoryjoe> and: http://stevenharman.net/blog/archive/2007/01/20/XFN_Microformat__with_Icon_Goodness.aspx
  469. [20:43:51] <factoryjoe> that'd be cool...
  470. [20:43:57] <factoryjoe> draggable date would be nice
  471. [20:44:09] <mkaply> factoryjoe: draggable to where?
  472. [20:44:16] <factoryjoe> i always wanted ad hoc maps and calendars that suck in a visualize microformats
  473. [20:44:22] <factoryjoe> draggable to a sidebar map
  474. [20:44:35] <factoryjoe> you drop it on the map and it locates the address in the hcard
  475. [20:45:36] <mkaply> s/date/data - got it
  476. [20:45:57] <mkaply> I was thinking the other way. Like the sidebar would show all the hcards. YOu could check five of them and then do a group action like export
  477. [20:46:10] <factoryjoe> either way
  478. [20:46:14] <factoryjoe> visualization of the data
  479. [20:46:19] <factoryjoe> like
  480. [20:46:23] <factoryjoe> did you see my mapendar idea?

  483. [20:49:13] <mkaply> interesting

  486. [20:53:57] <mkaply> factoryjoe: is it public?
  487. [20:55:56] <factoryjoe> yeah one sec
  488. [20:56:27] <factoryjoe> 30boxes.com/map
  489. [21:00:28] <factoryjoe> check out the link at the bottom

  491. [21:03:54] * jammie_ is back
  492. [21:04:04] <ajturner> factoryjoe - are you referring to GeoRSS, or geoparsing an RSS file?
  493. [21:04:22] * jammie_ clicks the linky and looks.
  494. [21:04:34] <jammie_> does anyone here use gmail,
  495. [21:04:38] <factoryjoe> i do...
  496. [21:04:41] <ajturner> yes
  497. [21:04:43] <factoryjoe> ajturner: not sure
  498. [21:04:56] <factoryjoe> mostly taking any address from an hcard and mapping it
  499. [21:05:04] <jammie_> i have written a pharser to convert hCard to a CSV file for gmail and am looking for testers / contributors,
  500. [21:05:06] <factoryjoe> geo can't be expected in normal hcards
  501. [21:05:16] <factoryjoe> jammie_: you're on a pc, right?
  502. [21:05:32] <jammie_> doesent matter, i have it as a webservuce though a bookmarklet
  503. [21:05:36] <jammie_> yeah, i am on a PC<
  504. [21:05:42] <factoryjoe> on the mac there's AddressBook2CSV
  505. [21:05:46] <factoryjoe> and vCardExplorer
  506. [21:05:55] <jammie_> yeah, it does Vcards,
  507. [21:05:58] <factoryjoe> the latter does hcard/vcard transformations
  508. [21:06:03] <jammie_> I am talking about hCards,
  509. [21:06:18] <jammie_> if works the same as x2v
  510. [21:06:35] <factoryjoe> cool
  511. [21:06:41] <factoryjoe> except outputs as csv?
  512. [21:06:45] <jammie_> you either put the ul after the converter URL, or you click the bookmarklet
  513. [21:06:47] <factoryjoe> can you send directly to gmail?
  514. [21:06:47] <jammie_> yep,
  515. [21:06:52] <jammie_> not yet,
  516. [21:06:53] <ajturner> factoryjoe - btw, I haven't seen anyone *really* implement Mapender
  517. [21:06:59] <factoryjoe> ajturner: you're right
  518. [21:07:04] <factoryjoe> mkaply: you saw my flickr shots?
  519. [21:07:08] <factoryjoe> for mapendar?
  520. [21:07:10] <jammie_> they do not have an API for that
  521. [21:07:15] <factoryjoe> bummer
  522. [21:07:22] <ajturner> it's an incredibly awesome idea, I figured someone was working on it ;)
  523. [21:07:25] <jammie_> i am hoping they add one,
  524. [21:07:36] <factoryjoe> ajturner: i'd like to see simile timeline support hcalendar
  525. [21:07:40] <factoryjoe> i think someone made that possible
  526. [21:07:44] <factoryjoe> hcalendar to json
  527. [21:07:50] <factoryjoe> to simile timeline
  528. [21:07:54] <jammie_> kewl
  529. [21:07:54] <ajturner> I did ical to googleearth ;)
  530. [21:08:01] <ajturner> ical/gcal
  531. [21:08:10] <factoryjoe> we could then scope data based on a visible timeline and plot it on a map
  532. [21:08:12] <factoryjoe> nice
  533. [21:08:25] <jammie_> my converter, uses some of the opensource hcard pharser, and then an open source vcard to CSV
  534. [21:08:52] * jammie_ is proud of his converter, and if going to be putting it on his site soon.
  535. [21:09:32] <mkaply> factoryjoe: saw the shots -c ool
  536. [21:09:45] <jammie_> whats you flickr acount?
  537. [21:09:58] * jammie_ is now known as JamieKnight
  538. [21:10:00] <factoryjoe> factoryjoe
  539. [21:10:02] <factoryjoe> ;)
  540. [21:10:06] <JamieKnight> :D
  541. [21:10:10] <pnhChris> :P
  542. [21:10:12] <factoryjoe> http://flickr.com/photos/factoryjoe/tags/mapendar
  543. [21:10:55] <JamieKnight> thanks,
  544. [21:11:11] <ajturner> well, if everyone exported GeoRSS, pass it through Mapufacture, and then just add timeline to the aggregated map there.
  545. [21:12:17] <JamieKnight> i have the XSLT to convert GEO RSS to pretty much anything,
  546. [21:12:43] <JamieKnight> it has a few issues with some things though, its another work in process,
  547. [21:12:45] <ajturner> JamieKnight - really? you have KML<->GeoRSS<->GPX?
  548. [21:12:47] <factoryjoe> http://factoryjoe.com/blog/whats-this-all-about/#stl-timeline
  549. [21:13:00] <factoryjoe> i'd like to map this on to a simile timeline: factoryjoe.com/stream
  550. [21:13:12] <JamieKnight> no, what it does is turn the geoRSS to php varibles.
  551. [21:13:35] <JamieKnight> so, then you could output it to anything using a template, or options system.
  552. [21:13:44] <JamieKnight> i assume that what you meant?
  553. [21:14:10] <JamieKnight> I havenet used it much, but i am open to other converter pharse ideas, i like making them. there fun

  558. [21:20:01] <factoryjoe> err, no
  559. [21:20:03] <factoryjoe> should it?
  560. [21:27:39] <JamieKnight> wondering,
  561. [21:27:43] <JamieKnight> he is my boss,
  562. [21:28:44] <ajturner> factoryjoe, what plugin is writing your 'stream'? or is it your own code?
  563. [21:28:55] <JamieKnight> what the XSLT bit?
  564. [21:29:21] <ajturner> is the stream just an XSLT transformation of the RSS?
  565. [21:29:25] <JamieKnight> I have a standard XSLT then i tell it to retun the out put in sections, and assign the section to vars
  566. [21:29:29] <JamieKnight> yeah, pretty much,
  567. [21:29:33] <factoryjoe> it's jeremy kieth's
  568. [21:29:42] <factoryjoe> it outputs as hatom
  569. [21:29:43] <JamieKnight> it has some issue atm, i havent had the time to fix,
  570. [21:29:52] <JamieKnight> no, mine just goes to vars,
  571. [21:30:07] <JamieKnight> doesent output anything but vars,
  572. [21:30:28] <ajturner> url to Jeremy Keith's xslt?
  573. [21:30:54] <JamieKnight> the idea was for somthing i was going to do but didnt, i needed to take lat / long and then caculate the distance for a pigion flyifnf site
  574. [21:31:32] <ajturner> a "pigeon flying site"??
  575. [21:31:39] <factoryjoe> one sec
  576. [21:31:50] <factoryjoe> the problem w/ jeremy's script is that it doesn't do caching
  577. [21:31:57] <ajturner> just thinking you could transform it just as easily to json: http://simile.mit.edu/timeline/examples/cubism/cubism.js to dynamically load for a Simile Timeline
  578. [21:31:58] <factoryjoe> i'd love to do the same w/ simplepie
  579. [21:32:21] <JamieKnight> yeah,
  580. [21:32:25] <JamieKnight> simplepie
  581. [21:32:37] * JamieKnight asks for forgivness, he has had alot going on recently,
  582. [21:33:00] * JamieKnight is moving his site to some new hosting whichhas XSLT support
  583. [21:33:23] * gsnedders jumps up and down! another mention of SimplePie in somewhere where I lurk!
  584. [21:33:49] <ajturner> ah, there is a Simile Timeline WP plugin
  585. [21:34:24] <factoryjoe> that's what's on my blog

  590. [21:36:18] <factoryjoe> oo
  591. [21:36:19] <factoryjoe> haha
  592. [21:36:20] <factoryjoe> nice
  593. [21:36:25] <ajturner> monkinetic - in rails? or ruby?

  655. [22:26:29] <JamieKnight> scope, wide scope done more things,
  656. [22:26:48] <bewest> right, so if you scope something, you are narrowing and doing less things

  668. [22:27:38] <JamieKnight> sounds good,
  669. [22:27:45] <JamieKnight> are you intrested in some free help,
  670. [22:27:51] <bewest> that would be defining scope
  671. [22:28:03] * JamieKnight wants to get more involved with things,
  672. [22:28:23] <bewest> more activity in defining scope usually results in a finer, narrower scope, which in turn typically narrows focus and reduces bloat
  673. [22:28:40] <JamieKnight> also, means more time better qaulity functions,
  674. [22:29:07] <Baristo> Right.
  675. [22:29:18] <Baristo> Well JamieKnight, are you a Rails guru? :)

  709. [22:44:38] <tantek> factoryjoe - that micropatterns page is problematic in a number of ways

  711. [22:45:18] <factoryjoe> ?
  712. [22:45:23] <factoryjoe> anti-pattern?
  713. [22:45:27] <factoryjoe> they're in use in the wild
  714. [22:45:33] <factoryjoe> in fact, they're all over WP themes
  715. [22:45:41] <factoryjoe> you're not going to remove them from the themes

  717. [22:45:50] <JamieKnight> just ecause they are theme doesent make then right....
  718. [22:45:57] <tantek> factoryjoe - like FONT tags

  722. [22:46:47] <factoryjoe> ok. can you provide a better micropattern example/
  723. [22:46:48] <factoryjoe> ?
  724. [22:46:54] <factoryjoe> that would help w/ image layout in posts?
  725. [22:47:01] <tantek> why do you even need to define a new term?
  726. [22:47:06] <tantek> what problem are you trying to solve?
  727. [22:47:27] <JamieKnight> factoryjoe: I think tantek is reffering to classname which describe the layout,
  728. [22:47:38] <JamieKnight> so for exmaple, left content and right content,
  729. [22:47:47] <tantek> factoryjoe, let me make it clearer - "alignleft" is NOT *semantic* XHTML
  730. [22:48:03] <JamieKnight> lets say you redesign, and they no longer are left and right,
  731. [22:48:17] <tantek> why do we need another name for "semantic XHTML"?
  732. [22:48:20] <JamieKnight> should use somthing like mainContent and subContent.
  733. [22:49:01] <factoryjoe> tantek: http://www.plaintxt.org/2007/01/22/special-classes-in-themes/
  734. [22:49:22] <factoryjoe> ?
  735. [22:49:25] <tantek> factoryjoe, the examples in that page are not semantic, nor is there sufficient reason to coin a new term, thus i'm going to delete the contents of that page and redirect it to the "semantic-xhtml" page.
  736. [22:49:26] <factoryjoe> um
  737. [22:49:43] <factoryjoe> you're defeating the goal of the concept
  738. [22:49:51] <mfbot> [[User:ChristopheDucamp]] M http://microformats.org/wiki?title=User:ChristopheDucamp&diff=0&oldid=12742 * ChristopheDucamp * (+517) minor edits to test hCard
  739. [22:49:58] <factoryjoe> i can rephrase the definition
  740. [22:50:01] <factoryjoe> it wasn't very good anyway
  741. [22:50:04] <tantek> you're defeating the definition of "semantic"
  742. [22:50:21] <factoryjoe> alignleft is presentational
  743. [22:50:23] <tantek> and introducing new terms that mean the same thing dilute a language
  744. [22:50:40] <factoryjoe> the point is to avoid inline styling
  745. [22:50:48] <factoryjoe> by using consistent class names
  746. [22:50:51] <tantek> it's no better
  747. [22:50:57] <mfbot> [[User:ChristopheDucamp]] M http://microformats.org/wiki?title=User:ChristopheDucamp&diff=0&oldid=12743 * ChristopheDucamp * (-213)
  748. [22:50:59] <factoryjoe> how would you recommend approaching this problem then?
  749. [22:50:59] <JamieKnight> the point is to seperate structure form content.
  750. [22:51:08] <JamieKnight> sorry, stylke form content,
  751. [22:51:09] <tantek> class="alignleft" is no better than align="left"
  752. [22:51:10] <tantek> sorry
  753. [22:51:17] <tantek> you're playing a shell game
  754. [22:51:21] <factoryjoe> you're not solving my problem
  755. [22:51:22] <tantek> you're not solving anything
  756. [22:51:33] <factoryjoe> i want a convenience class
  757. [22:51:38] <tantek> this has nothing to do with structure or content
  758. [22:51:41] <JamieKnight> factoryjoe: what si the problem?
  759. [22:51:41] <tantek> this is all presentational
  760. [22:51:52] <JamieKnight> yes, semantic class names,
  761. [22:51:59] <factoryjoe> somethign that will say for this image, use this style: float:left; margin:0.5em 1em 0.5em 0;
  762. [22:52:12] <factoryjoe> but i want it to be universal
  763. [22:52:18] <JamieKnight> why?
  764. [22:52:24] <factoryjoe> so that all my images are treated the same when they're given that class
  765. [22:52:36] <JamieKnight> well, you can use the atribute selector,
  766. [22:52:45] <factoryjoe> and, should i redesign, i can simply update the class and all layout will be fixed
  767. [22:52:46] <JamieKnight> so, for example, all #content img {
  768. [22:52:46] <tantek> precisely
  769. [22:52:49] <factoryjoe> ?!
  770. [22:52:57] <factoryjoe> i don't want ALL images in #content
  771. [22:52:59] <factoryjoe> only certain ones

  773. [22:53:09] <factoryjoe> i want certain ones to be aligned right, others left
  774. [22:53:12] <tantek> and should you redesign, and align the images right, then a class like "alignleft" looks really stupid
  775. [22:53:16] <JamieKnight> okay, what can yo do to tell them apart in the structure,
  776. [22:53:18] <tantek> that's the point of avoiding presentational class names
  777. [22:53:34] <factoryjoe> JamieKnight: nothing
  778. [22:53:35] <JamieKnight> for example, is it always below a h1 elemena,t
  779. [22:53:39] <factoryjoe> it's arbitrary
  780. [22:53:43] <factoryjoe> nope
  781. [22:53:49] <factoryjoe> sometimes, sometimes not
  782. [22:53:50] <JamieKnight> can you link me to the page, and i will see what i can do with firebug,
  783. [22:53:52] <tantek> facotryjoe - reread http://microformats.org/wiki/semantic-class-names and the articles linked from there

  786. [22:54:15] <factoryjoe> factoryjoe.com/blog
  787. [22:54:18] <tantek> you have to come up with a semantic that differentiates them semantically
  788. [22:54:22] <tantek> other than left/right
  789. [22:54:23] <factoryjoe> and, check out every WP install taht uses K2
  790. [22:54:26] <tantek> because that's just presentational again
  791. [22:54:29] <tantek> and you haven't improved everything
  792. [22:54:31] <tantek> anything
  793. [22:54:32] <JamieKnight> well, if you have a template, then there is a possible of consistancy now,
  794. [22:54:40] <factoryjoe> you're not being constructive tantek
  795. [22:55:00] <factoryjoe> i will accept your point that, in terms of "data", presentational classes are useless
  796. [22:55:05] <tantek> i'm pointing out a timewaster in the interest of wasting less time

  813. [22:56:48] <factoryjoe> uses class="alignright"
  814. [22:56:49] <ajturner> tantek, factoryjoe, would "large_thumbnail" be wrong?
  815. [22:56:56] <ajturner> or "small_thumbnail"
  816. [22:57:02] <factoryjoe> ajturner: how do i determine which side it displays on?
  817. [22:57:04] <tantek> factory joe - note that images in my blog http://tantek.com/ have no such class names and yet have a consistent styling that even works in your BlackBerry browser
  818. [22:57:08] <factoryjoe> sometimes i want left, sometimes right
  819. [22:57:12] <ajturner> so then in your css, you would do #small_thumbnail {align:right}
  820. [22:57:24] <tantek> why?
  821. [22:57:26] <tantek> why sometimes left sometimes right?
  822. [22:57:29] <factoryjoe> ajturner: you're suggesting inline CSS?

  825. [22:57:54] <ajturner> factoryjoe - no, I'm saying if you're aligning based on thumbnail size - then use that as the classname, but in your linked-css, refer to the thumbnail size for alignment
  826. [22:57:58] <JamieKnight> that is not inline,
  827. [22:58:16] <mfbot> [[micropatterns]] M http://microformats.org/wiki?title=micropatterns&diff=0&oldid=12747 * Tantek * (-277) removed presentational class names which are an anti-pattern, please read [[semantic-class-names]]
  828. [22:58:33] <ajturner> factoryjoe - I'm assuming there is some logic to the design, for example, if a thumbnail is >= 300px, make it centered (large_thumbnail)
  829. [22:58:51] <factoryjoe> ajturner: typically, that is correct for centered images
  830. [22:58:52] <factoryjoe> however
  831. [22:59:00] <ajturner> but maybe later you make your blog just a single column, at that point you can then make large_thumnail aligned to the left/right
  832. [22:59:05] <ajturner> without having to change the classname
  833. [22:59:07] <mfbot> [[User:ChristopheDucamp]] M http://microformats.org/wiki?title=User:ChristopheDucamp&diff=0&oldid=12748 * ChristopheDucamp * (+90)
  834. [22:59:13] <mfbot> [[micropatterns]] http://microformats.org/wiki?title=micropatterns&diff=0&oldid=12749 * Tantek * (-89) removed unnecessary creation of new term and redirected to existing term [[semantic-xhtml]] in order to emphasize *semantic*
  835. [22:59:48] <JamieKnight> on you blog, you have the image in the center main body, after contained in and after a consistat p tag
  836. [23:00:01] <ajturner> factoryjoe: right, so I think tantek is just saying not to make the classname indicate layout - but the simpler description of the image, it's a large thumbnail
  837. [23:00:01] * veeliam (n=veeliam@207.111.253.74) has joined #microformats
  838. [23:00:27] <factoryjoe> i'm still confused about left and right alignement
  839. [23:00:29] <mfbot> [[User:ChristopheDucamp]] M http://microformats.org/wiki?title=User:ChristopheDucamp&diff=0&oldid=12750 * ChristopheDucamp * (-89)
  840. [23:00:32] <factoryjoe> unless i have to set it in stone
  841. [23:00:46] <factoryjoe> i suppose that's what alignleft and alignright do anyway
  842. [23:00:54] <factoryjoe> but no
  843. [23:00:59] <factoryjoe> see that's where this goes south
  844. [23:01:15] <factoryjoe> you need different margins and padding depending on something is right or left aligned
  845. [23:01:23] <factoryjoe> say i use thumbnail_small
  846. [23:01:27] <factoryjoe> that's fine
  847. [23:01:45] <factoryjoe> but let's say that i don't want padding on the right side of the image if it's aligned on the right
  848. [23:01:54] <tantek> factoryjoe, even thumbnail_a and thumbnail_b would be better than alignleft alignright
  849. [23:01:57] <factoryjoe> so i want margin: 0 0 10px 10px;
  850. [23:02:09] <JamieKnight> .entry-content + p + img { style here defined in external sheeet}
  851. [23:02:10] <tantek> the point is to NOT hardcode *any* presentation into the class name at all
  852. [23:02:10] <ajturner> is there any ruleset to when align something l/r, or is it really image-by-image
  853. [23:02:13] <factoryjoe> _a and _b offer no additional semantics
  854. [23:02:20] <mfbot> [[User:ChristopheDucamp]] M http://microformats.org/wiki?title=User:ChristopheDucamp&diff=0&oldid=12751 * ChristopheDucamp * (-35)
  855. [23:02:32] <factoryjoe> ajturner: it's content + image
  856. [23:02:32] <tantek> they offer the semantic that they belong in two different sets, a and b
  857. [23:02:43] <factoryjoe> it depends
  858. [23:02:43] <tantek> which is better than calling those sets "left" and "right"
  859. [23:02:47] <factoryjoe> tantek: it's also contextual
  860. [23:02:56] <factoryjoe> it might be wrong, but pragmatically, what happens when someone says "teh image to the right"
  861. [23:02:59] <tantek> because presentational terms are a negative
  862. [23:03:03] * davecardwell (n=davecard@cpc4-grim9-0-0-cust251.nott.cable.ntl.com) Quit ()
  863. [23:03:04] <tantek> zero semantics are better than negative
  864. [23:03:09] <ajturner> factoryjoe, I was just wondering if it was like: in a post about tech, with a company_logo, align that right - but if it's a post about one of my projects, align that thumbnail to the left
  865. [23:03:11] <JamieKnight> factoryjoe: you can used the advanced selector which works on the fact that the img you are talking about is sat inside the same elements each time.
  866. [23:03:12] <bewest> presentational terms don't always add semantics, anyway
  867. [23:03:14] * tantek references his semantic spectrum chart from 2003
  868. [23:03:18] <ajturner> perhaps that's too much programming-design ;)
  869. [23:03:38] <factoryjoe> ajturner: no, there's no real rhyme or reason
  870. [23:03:59] <factoryjoe> JamieKnight: we can scope the CSS just fine
  871. [23:04:04] <tantek> http://tantek.com/presentations/2003SXSW/stylesheets.html
  872. [23:04:23] <JamieKnight> then you shouldent need a class name for it, as the image is in the same place each time.
  873. [23:04:34] <tantek> see slide 9 at that URL
  874. [23:04:37] <factoryjoe> JamieKnight: no it's not
  875. [23:04:50] <factoryjoe> JamieKnight: it can variably be placed on the right or the left
  876. [23:04:51] <tantek> sorry that presentation predates fragment IDs for individual slides :)
  877. [23:05:02] <factoryjoe> there's no reason other than intuition
  878. [23:05:21] <JamieKnight> any imge in the section entry content you want this style applied too, if it reside inside a p then do it another way, if it reside inside a p below the h elemet do it another way
  879. [23:05:46] <tantek> JamieKnight's suggestion is a good one
  880. [23:06:16] <JamieKnight> then if you had a serios of image you they could auto align, you would have to "hack" IE for its advanced selectors but it is doable,
  881. [23:06:38] <JamieKnight> series of images sorry,
  882. [23:06:50] <JamieKnight> or, of course, you could use the DOM,
  883. [23:07:00] <JamieKnight> but, its a waste of DOM, but could be done quite easily,
  884. [23:07:09] <factoryjoe> ...
  885. [23:07:47] <JamieKnight> basically, tell the dom to grab any image elements inside this class, this calss and this class and give them this class, but in the DOM not the XHTML
  886. [23:07:49] <tantek> is "..." in IRC a shorthand for "I'm typing a long statement, hold on a sec?"

  888. [23:08:12] <JamieKnight> then the browser would display, the code the DOM told it to,
  889. [23:08:32] <JamieKnight> tantek: i have a feeling this is "abuse of the DOM" but it would work, do you agree,
  890. [23:08:40] <factoryjoe> ... == is I'm thinking
  891. [23:09:22] <JamieKnight> tantek: ... == i am thinking OR i dont know what to say OR i am writing long reply next
  892. [23:09:24] <veeliam> factoryjoe, designers are not inherently responsible for the semantics of a document.
  893. [23:09:42] <JamieKnight> factoryjoe: if you are coding it, you are responsible.
  894. [23:09:49] <tantek> veeliam - but IAs (information architects) are
  895. [23:09:52] * jonthn1 (n=jonthn@dedicated.anhur.net) has joined #microformats
  896. [23:09:58] <tantek> and these days, the *good* designers are also IAs
  897. [23:10:04] <tantek> and not just photoshop jockeys
  898. [23:10:10] <JamieKnight> if you are a designer, but you are making the site, then you wear all hats,
  899. [23:10:18] <JamieKnight> i prefere fireworks for site design myself,

  901. [23:10:24] <factoryjoe> I wear many hats
  902. [23:10:31] <veeliam> tantek, yes. I'm jumping in late after reading the mflog
  903. [23:10:32] <factoryjoe> and I'm responsible for the semantics of my blog
  904. [23:10:42] <factoryjoe> especially my blog posts
  905. [23:10:43] <JamieKnight> I work on my site alone, therefore i am the designer, IA, ect
  906. [23:11:04] <veeliam> what JamieKnight was saying with the DOM, you can do that with the CSS.
  907. [23:11:10] <JamieKnight> apart form some obvios thing i think my site is mostally semantic, i am improving it as i better,
  908. [23:11:14] <factoryjoe> tantek: I appreciate what you're saying, I can agree, I can leave the alignfoo stuff behind
  909. [23:11:20] <JamieKnight> veeliam: i know you can, i was saying another opetion,
  910. [23:11:28] <factoryjoe> I don't feel we have an adequate human-friendly approach yet
  911. [23:11:37] <factoryjoe> that people who have been using these classes will embrace
  912. [23:11:42] <factoryjoe> .thumbnail is fine
  913. [23:11:51] <factoryjoe> a LONG time ago I proposed .figure for this purpose
  914. [23:12:05] <factoryjoe> since it could include data tables that needed to be aligned inline

  916. [23:12:45] <JamieKnight> if it was defined in the stylesheet, and the styname was somthing like WidthValue300px i am not entirely sure,
  917. [23:12:48] <factoryjoe> i don't feel that, from the position of an aesthetitician, that i should have to sacrifice appearance for semantics
  918. [23:13:00] <JamieKnight> the code would be describing the content not the element and its purpose,
  919. [23:13:19] <JamieKnight> factoryjoe: I have given you two option to solve this problem.
  920. [23:13:25] <JamieKnight> CSS can do it, as can the DOM
  921. [23:13:30] <tantek> JamieKnight, right
  922. [23:13:52] <factoryjoe> JamieKnight: I'm not fond of relying on DOM scripting for layout
  923. [23:13:58] <JamieKnight> well, use CSS<
  924. [23:14:00] <factoryjoe> I would prefer a CSS-based approach
  925. [23:14:01] <tantek> factoryjoe, if you sacrifice semantics, then you sacrifice that scenario you asked for, which was to be able to redesign your blog simply by changing the style sheet and reusing the existing class names and have it make sense
  926. [23:14:04] <veeliam> there really ought to be a difference between the semantics of the code and the semantics of the content.
  927. [23:14:05] <JamieKnight> it is what it is designer for,
  928. [23:14:23] <JamieKnight> veelem good sematics decribe both,
  929. [23:14:31] <JamieKnight> EG: MainContent and SubContent
  930. [23:14:49] <JamieKnight> describes it place in the code, and in the page, and from it you can infer its position
  931. [23:15:06] <JamieKnight> IE: it is more likley that the subcontent is going to be thinner than the main content,
  932. [23:15:09] <veeliam> JamieKnight, i agree.
  933. [23:15:12] * defunkt (n=cowboy@cn-sfo1-pix-natout.cnet.com) has left #microformats
  934. [23:15:39] <JamieKnight> somthign like placing a certai image to the left, can be done with advanced selectors,
  935. [23:16:11] <factoryjoe> JamieKnight: can you elaborate on that specific example?
  936. [23:16:18] <factoryjoe> JamieKnight: did you read the plaintxt.org blog post?
  937. [23:16:30] <veeliam> .vcard .thumnail {}
  938. [23:16:38] <JamieKnight> example earlier,
  939. [23:16:52] <JamieKnight> .vcard img
  940. [23:17:03] <JamieKnight> .entry-content + p + img { style here defined in external sheeet}
  941. [23:17:16] <JamieKnight> that would work with you current classitis,
  942. [23:17:24] <JamieKnight> on firefox, and safari,
  943. [23:17:31] <JamieKnight> on IE you would have to trick it a bit,
  944. [23:17:51] <veeliam> couldn't it be .vcard .logo {}
  945. [23:18:02] <JamieKnight> but it can be done, they are CSS3 selectors,
  946. [23:18:03] <JamieKnight> yep,
  947. [23:18:24] <JamieKnight> my methos mean that the logo content image require no classes, making redesign easier,
  948. [23:18:26] <factoryjoe> JamieKnight: how do you solve the left/right alignment?
  949. [23:18:40] <JamieKnight> you define it into the style i left space for,
  950. [23:18:57] <factoryjoe> i would like to be able to choose left OR right
  951. [23:19:02] <factoryjoe> can you give me an example?
  952. [23:19:06] <JamieKnight> i am one sec,
  953. [23:19:08] <veeliam> but the logo already has a class name, per the uF, yes?
  954. [23:19:17] <JamieKnight> true,
  955. [23:19:23] <factoryjoe> class=photo or class=logo
  956. [23:19:28] <JamieKnight> he is talking about the image in the content of his blog.
  957. [23:19:29] <factoryjoe> but we're talking about blog posts mostly
  958. [23:19:36] <factoryjoe> in hatom
  959. [23:19:48] <veeliam> ah., ok. i'll back up and reread before i chime in.
  960. [23:19:49] * JamieKnight just had to move lion out of the way

  962. [23:20:02] <JamieKnight> okay, i will write out an example.
  963. [23:20:26] <factoryjoe> perfect
  964. [23:20:28] <factoryjoe> thanks
  965. [23:24:16] <JamieKnight> <div class="post">
  966. [23:24:17] <JamieKnight> <h1>title</h1>
  967. [23:24:19] <JamieKnight> <img src="url" />
  968. [23:24:20] <JamieKnight> <p>some content </p>
  969. [23:24:22] <JamieKnight> <img src="url"/>
  970. [23:24:23] <JamieKnight> <p>more conten, maybe another section<p>
  971. [23:24:25] <JamieKnight> </div>
  972. [23:24:27] <JamieKnight> thus i can target the first image to go right with .post + h1 {rule for right}
  973. [23:24:29] <JamieKnight> thus i can target image two to go left .post + p {rule}
  974. [23:24:30] <JamieKnight> and a third image center for example .post
  975. [23:24:32] <JamieKnight> logic dictates eithe one of those elements, or one of those patterns will match to give you auto aligned images.
  976. [23:24:52] <factoryjoe> ok... let me give you one more example
  977. [23:25:15] <JamieKnight> sorry about the lenth of post, I have use somtimng similar before, I have the code for Ie somwhere too, the nature of CSS means that if a broser doesent understand it would place it to the common rule, thus not breaking accsesbilty.
  978. [23:25:36] <JamieKnight> and making the desing more flexiable.
  979. [23:25:59] <JamieKnight> tantek: does that code look right to you? I am REALLY tired so i might have made s tupid mistake.
  980. [23:26:17] * JamieKnight notes this method is in andy budds book page 15
  981. [23:26:40] <JamieKnight> i have just applied the advanced tag selectors.

  984. [23:28:30] <factoryjoe> i would like to be able to use arbitrarily ordered images

  986. [23:28:54] <factoryjoe> the icon up top doesn't seem to get a class
  987. [23:30:02] <JamieKnight> okay, you could: float the image using imge from classname, of post, then set a universal clear on the paragraphs.
  988. [23:30:25] <JamieKnight> i think you could anyway,
  989. [23:30:35] <factoryjoe> that would be a pretty gross stylesheet, wouldn't it?

  992. [23:30:52] <factoryjoe> btw, i'm not trying to give you a hard time
  993. [23:30:58] <factoryjoe> just trying to apply this to reality
  994. [23:31:04] <JamieKnight> pretty gross meaning = not perfect
  995. [23:31:08] <veeliam> but line 882 of his CSS isolates that image, factoryjoe.
  996. [23:31:12] <factoryjoe> and to what people are already doing, which is what tantek advocates for
  997. [23:31:16] <JamieKnight> it would validate, and it would work.
  998. [23:31:22] <factoryjoe> veeliam: how?
  999. [23:31:38] <factoryjoe> by applying a style to pic-wide-float?
  1000. [23:31:50] <veeliam> float: left
  1001. [23:31:55] <tantek> factoryjoe - don't misinterpret process/scientific method
  1002. [23:32:09] <tantek> existing behavior is only an *input* to the analysis
  1003. [23:32:12] <factoryjoe> "document existing behavior"
  1004. [23:32:12] <JamieKnight> yes, only the good stuff though, there are more table site in the wild than stadards so by your logic as stated we should use stables?
  1005. [23:32:15] <factoryjoe> the behavior exists
  1006. [23:32:17] <tantek> existing behavior is *not* the conclusion
  1007. [23:32:24] <factoryjoe> no
  1008. [23:32:26] <factoryjoe> not necessarily
  1009. [23:32:30] <JamieKnight> it is not perfect behavior though,
  1010. [23:32:32] <tantek> in fact, copying existing behavior without analysis is just dumb
  1011. [23:32:40] <JamieKnight> it can be done better,
  1012. [23:32:45] <factoryjoe> agreed
  1013. [23:32:47] <factoryjoe> however
  1014. [23:32:50] <factoryjoe> it comes down to this
  1015. [23:32:51] <tantek> it's just copycatting/mimicking/lemminging
  1016. [23:32:52] <veeliam> .body-lead p img, .body-lead p img.thumb { float: left; margin: 3px 10px 3px 0px; }
  1017. [23:32:55] <JamieKnight> he has floated the image out of the main flow, that what i was suggestion,
  1018. [23:32:59] * tantek likes the word lemminging
  1019. [23:33:03] <JamieKnight> facotryjoehave you got firebug?
  1020. [23:33:14] <factoryjoe> JamieKnight: yes
  1021. [23:33:18] <factoryjoe> just not enabled
  1022. [23:33:18] <tantek> this is why you have to define the problem *first*
  1023. [23:33:25] <factoryjoe> tantek:
  1024. [23:33:26] <JamieKnight> well, inspect it, it give you all the date you need.
  1025. [23:33:30] <tantek> and then document existing behavior
  1026. [23:33:35] <factoryjoe> the convention is to use trash class names.. .i.e. alignleft
  1027. [23:33:37] <veeliam> or just use the DOM inspector
  1028. [23:33:38] <tantek> and then *analyze* it (implied schema etc.)
  1029. [23:33:59] <tantek> factoryjoe, that's a convention as much as using FONT tags is a convention
  1030. [23:34:03] <JamieKnight> veeliam: I think DOM for layout is okay, but not for somthing this simple.
  1031. [23:34:04] <factoryjoe> the problem is to offer arbitrary visual alignment for objects inline or as block elements
  1032. [23:34:29] <factoryjoe> tantek: font tags might not be the solution, but the desire to choose font faces is something worthy of considering
  1033. [23:34:35] <JamieKnight> infact, is anyonein here a DOM guru, i have some questions.
  1034. [23:34:38] <factoryjoe> thus we have font-family
  1035. [23:34:56] <tantek> right you use the behavior to illuminate what the question is - not a prescription for behavior
  1036. [23:34:59] <tantek> that's my point
  1037. [23:35:01] <JamieKnight> position of images, thus we have image aligh set in the sheet with a decent descriptive tag name.
  1038. [23:35:10] <JamieKnight> image float sorry,
  1039. [23:35:12] <tantek> so saying "people use presentational class names, let's make that a pattern" is wrong
  1040. [23:35:16] <JamieKnight> getting sleepy
  1041. [23:35:17] <factoryjoe> i take your point and agree
  1042. [23:35:26] <tantek> so stop promoting presentational class names
  1043. [23:35:42] * JamieKnight wonders how old evryone in here is. most web peopl my age are all for tables.
  1044. [23:36:05] * JamieKnight feel like strangling most devloper his age
  1045. [23:36:21] <factoryjoe> tantek: the issue here is that the "pattern" i'm suggesting only applies to the visual design -- otherwise the class has no "data" value
  1046. [23:36:35] <JamieKnight> it does,
  1047. [23:36:39] <JamieKnight> it a content image.
  1048. [23:36:44] <JamieKnight> of this status
  1049. [23:37:00] <factoryjoe> no, the <img> tag specifies the data
  1050. [23:37:15] <factoryjoe> the IMG doesn't align itself
  1051. [23:37:24] <factoryjoe> i.e. there's no data in the image that says "align right"
  1052. [23:37:31] <factoryjoe> (nor should there be)
  1053. [23:37:35] <JamieKnight> so, for example, classing that image as SidContenteImage would be semantic, and they style from there.
  1054. [23:37:40] <veeliam> unless you use that align attribute!
  1055. [23:37:46] <veeliam> just kidding.
  1056. [23:37:52] <factoryjoe> however, in different *contexts*, layout can be extremely important to achieving meaning
  1057. [23:38:05] <JamieKnight> factoryjoe: to a point,
  1058. [23:38:20] <JamieKnight> but remeber, just because you use the web visully does not mean that is it only use.
  1059. [23:38:37] <JamieKnight> As i have mention i am dyslexic, i spend alot of time with a screen reader,
  1060. [23:38:51] <tantek> and i spend a lot of time on a mobile browser
  1061. [23:39:05] <factoryjoe> as do i
  1062. [23:39:06] * JamieKnight is semi-mute and sign alot also, just for reference
  1063. [23:39:06] <tantek> people that use tables are living in a world without mobile browsers
  1064. [23:39:12] <tantek> tables for layout that is
  1065. [23:39:18] <factoryjoe> ok ok
  1066. [23:39:18] <JamieKnight> yeah, i agree,
  1067. [23:39:19] <factoryjoe> hold on
  1068. [23:39:24] <factoryjoe> this could be useful
  1069. [23:39:27] * redmonk (n=steve@ip68-96-52-225.ph.ph.cox.net) has joined #microformats
  1070. [23:39:32] <factoryjoe> because we have the media attribute for a reason
  1071. [23:39:45] <factoryjoe> and if the media is "screen" one presumes that there is a visual representation, right?
  1072. [23:39:52] <JamieKnight> not always,
  1073. [23:39:56] <factoryjoe> ?
  1074. [23:40:01] <factoryjoe> screen != screen?
  1075. [23:40:01] <tantek> factoryjoe - more complicated than that
  1076. [23:40:02] <JamieKnight> ever see the hearing aid loops,
  1077. [23:40:10] <tantek> because there are meta-UAs
  1078. [23:40:12] <JamieKnight> they are called screen lopps,
  1079. [23:40:20] <JamieKnight> screen loops,
  1080. [23:40:21] <tantek> "browsers" that run on top of other browsers
  1081. [23:40:23] <factoryjoe> so that sounds like an abuse of UAs
  1082. [23:40:26] <JamieKnight> the screen the sound to you
  1083. [23:40:27] <tantek> especially for accessibility
  1084. [23:40:27] <factoryjoe> and of the media selector
  1085. [23:40:45] <factoryjoe> there's "aural"
  1086. [23:40:48] <tantek> factoryjoe, it is not ideal, merely documenting some existing implementation
  1087. [23:40:54] <JamieKnight> they arther, screen is in this concept (i think) defined as transfer of selected content.
  1088. [23:41:18] <JamieKnight> Ie, screening liver transplant, mean taking a selection of the "content"
  1089. [23:41:26] <factoryjoe> http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/media.html#media-types
  1090. [23:41:33] <factoryjoe> handheld --> mobile
  1091. [23:41:38] <tantek> right
  1092. [23:41:40] <JamieKnight> handhel == PSP
  1093. [23:41:47] <factoryjoe> screen - Intended primarily for color computer screens.
  1094. [23:41:49] <JamieKnight> handheld == fridge,
  1095. [23:41:52] <factoryjoe> i rest my case
  1096. [23:42:09] <JamieKnight> is a fride portable? or handheld?
  1097. [23:42:27] <factoryjoe> however, the case isn't closed, because i'm arguing that the screen media type needs to be able to position and layout objects
  1098. [23:42:32] * JamieKnight wishes he had a portable infaltable fridge
  1099. [23:42:45] <factoryjoe> ....picking good semantic classes is key to data recognizability
  1100. [23:42:50] <JamieKnight> um..... it does.
  1101. [23:42:52] <factoryjoe> that's fine and indisputable
  1102. [23:43:03] <JamieKnight> a class can be sematic, and description,
  1103. [23:43:11] <JamieKnight> just need to be inventive,
  1104. [23:43:11] <factoryjoe> however, when layout is key to the medium you're using, why can't you have classes of objects that are laid out in similar fashion?
  1105. [23:43:37] <JamieKnight> do you design website for the concept or the design?
  1106. [23:43:39] <factoryjoe> and why can't you use "classes" for that purpose, given they're of similar form?
  1107. [23:43:51] <OpenStandards> am I correct in thinking that column_a would be better than column_left
  1108. [23:43:59] <tantek> OpenStandards - yes
  1109. [23:44:04] <JamieKnight> so, you website is so that people can look at a nice desing and all the test is lorem ipsum.
  1110. [23:44:15] <tantek> it is better to have a vague abstract semantic, than a presentational semantic
  1111. [23:44:17] <JamieKnight> wouldent MainContent and Subcontent be even better?
  1112. [23:44:21] <factoryjoe> design can offer meaning
  1113. [23:44:25] <JamieKnight> i agree with tantek
  1114. [23:44:28] <tantek> because it removes the hardcoded presentation tie in
  1115. [23:44:29] <OpenStandards> thanks tantek
  1116. [23:44:33] <factoryjoe> so it can and should be considered content on occassion
  1117. [23:44:43] <JamieKnight> design can offer meaning, but, the actully meaning of the structure is greater,
  1118. [23:44:56] * remi (n=remi@dsl-137-205.aei.ca) has joined #microformats
  1119. [23:45:00] <JamieKnight> structure > meanding
  1120. [23:45:04] <JamieKnight> meaning,
  1121. [23:45:06] <tantek> layout can offer meaning in two dimensional charted data for example
  1122. [23:45:17] <OpenStandards> factoryjoe, problem is if you do a redesign you´ll have to change the mark up as your css might be different
  1123. [23:45:19] <tantek> but even then, the semantic is often numerical
  1124. [23:45:38] <tantek> factoryjoe - everytime you think "design can offer meaning", think about how you would communicate that meaning to a blind user
  1125. [23:45:41] <JamieKnight> tantek: 3D can have meaning too, a picture with an object closer and an object further, the object closer seems more important.
  1126. [23:45:43] <OpenStandards> your column that had positioned to the left might be to the right
  1127. [23:46:06] <factoryjoe> @media screen {.alignright { float:right;magin: 0 0 10px 10px; }}
  1128. [23:46:13] <JamieKnight> but i am not picking, you are right, just explanding.
  1129. [23:46:21] <OpenStandards> JamieKnight, what do you think of source ordered pages
  1130. [23:46:33] <JamieKnight> OpenStandards: source orderd pages?
  1131. [23:46:38] <factoryjoe> OpenStandards: how would you preserve the meaning offered by the original layout then?
  1132. [23:46:42] <JamieKnight> i dont understand you language, sorry,
  1133. [23:46:48] <OpenStandards> content before navigation
  1134. [23:46:55] <factoryjoe> if i say "that image on the right" but i've only called the image by the class "thumbnail"
  1135. [23:47:03] <JamieKnight> i think in some cerstances that is correct
  1136. [23:47:06] <factoryjoe> and i change the float for "thumbnail" i've lost original meaning
  1137. [23:47:37] <JamieKnight> IE, if you are buidling a website, as a walk, then navagation should be secound, you can use CSS to place it at the top.
  1138. [23:48:00] <JamieKnight> thumbnail is better, it is describing the image
  1139. [23:48:08] <JamieKnight> right / left desribes its position,
  1140. [23:48:43] <JamieKnight> OpenStandards: does that make sense, or have i misundersood?
  1141. [23:50:05] <factoryjoe> JamieKnight: tantek contends that any presentational class is a net negative
  1142. [23:50:24] <OpenStandards> it does but surely that creates a usablity issues as most sites have links before content and by having content before links you might throw the user somewhat
  1143. [23:50:25] <factoryjoe> whereas semantic neutral (thumbnail_b) is net positive
  1144. [23:50:26] * JamieKnight is looking forward ot his extra display when he gets home
  1145. [23:50:30] <JamieKnight> yes,
  1146. [23:50:34] <JamieKnight> that is what i said,
  1147. [23:51:07] <JamieKnight> true, OpenStandards however, if i was writing a site, lets say decribing a walk, then i would like the user to go from page 1 to 2, to 3 ect,
  1148. [23:51:14] <JamieKnight> and thus, having the links at the bottom,
  1149. [23:51:21] <JamieKnight> would be logical,
  1150. [23:51:48] <JamieKnight> an acsssibility Div might be useful, though,
  1151. [23:52:02] <JamieKnight> so, on a screen reader i can instruct for link number whatever,
  1152. [23:52:26] * JamieKnight thinks this incase he has allredy visited the site and has heard page 1,2,3 and want to go to4
  1153. [23:52:56] <JamieKnight> however, is thier cache has not be clead somthing with redirects and the DOM could be used, to take you back to you last page upoin a reffere that is not the the site
  1154. [23:54:14] <OpenStandards> its actually nice discussing semantic mark up and accessablity its a topic not covered that well
  1155. [23:54:31] <JamieKnight> it is yes,
  1156. [23:54:53] <JamieKnight> I am happyt o be able to talk to other web standards people, rather than the using idiot i talk to, apart form alun of course,
  1157. [23:55:14] <JamieKnight> tantek: I think you have met alun,
  1158. [23:56:33] * defunkt (n=cowboy@cn-sfo1-pix-natout.cnet.com) has joined #microformats
  1159. [23:58:11] <tantek> factoryjoe - not just me. Eric Meyer and many others who have been working on this stuff / in this stuff for a long time have all discussed how/why presentational class names are bad.
  1160. [23:59:25] <bewest> tantek: you must really love Dreamweaver then: "style1, style2...."
  1161. [23:59:26] <factoryjoe> I don't necessary disagree
  1162. [23:59:29] <JamieKnight> factoryjoe: have you read the books from dan @ simplebits,
  1163. [23:59:35] <factoryjoe> not all
  1164. [23:59:40] <factoryjoe> or at least completely
  1165. [23:59:47] <tantek> bewest, those are neutral names and thus i'm neutral on them
  1166. [23:59:57] <factoryjoe> i still have to start reading GTD
