Comment on Enabling the HTML5 parser in Firefox 3.6 by Justai

Okay, I’m using FF 3.6.25 and when I go to YouTube to watch a video in HTML5 (I’ve turned off Flash plugins to test this), it tells me that I don’t have an HTML5 browser.

What gives here??

Comment on Using header and hgroup in HTML5 by Ian Devlin

Darren, I’m afraid the HTML markup you added was eaten by WordPress, but yes, a p element is not allowed in an hgroup element, only h elements are permitted. I have stated this above.

But surely a ‘p’ tag within a ‘hgroup’ is valid? e.g.

Thank you for this tip – it only had me stymied for a few minutes before I hit the googles looking for a solution, but without your help, I’m sure I would have spent a day or two obsessing over it.

WTH, Microsoft?

Comment on Marking up a postal address with HTML by sprungmarker

Hi Ian,

yes – I checked it too – and seems to be okay – quite more options now in HTML5 how content flow is defined.

And I fear I would never use section elements or headings in address elements. Okay – maybe a heading.

Hi Sylvia, you made me check again regarding divs being allowed in the address element! The spec. says that flow content is allowed but not sectioning content (article, aside, nav and section), nor heading content (hN, hgroup) or header, address or footer so a div seems to be ok.

There seems to be many ways to do this!

Wasn’t aware that address element now allows div inside.
It’s not that bad a concept connecting it to its surroundings.

WHATWG suggest using a “dull” p element for contact information.

Was never really a fan of definition lists for address info.
Using Microdata so far for myself – just avoiding class dilemma.
