CSS Class Selectors

Given that the home class only occurs once in the html, it seems redundant to specify the class twice. This comes from the site clearleft.com. What is the purpose of the last ...

So when I output the string I'm using - echo strip_tags($content, '<b><i><ul><ol><li>'); Now normally I would use FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING but that would strip all tags and I would use html_entities() but that would prevent the tags I'm...

xHTML 1.0 strict - Validate iFrames

Is it possible to validate iFrames in xhtml 1.0 strict? Preferably without any use of javascript to inject the iframe into the page. I know there is no point in validating just for the sake of validation, but lets just say that I like the green validation message on w3c ;) (I am forced by factors beyond my control to use iframes) Or ma...

Custom attributes - Yay or nay?

Recently I have been reading more and more about people using custom attributes in their HTML tags, mainly for the purpose of embedding some extra bits of data for use in javascript code. I was hoping to gather some feedback on whether or not using custom attributes is a good practice, and also what some alternatives are. It seems like...

So what if custom HTML attributes aren't valid XHTML?

I know that is the reason some people don't approve of them, but does it really matter? I think that the power that they provide, in interacting with JavaScript and storing and sending information from and to the server, outweighs the validation concern. Am I missing something? What are the ramifications of "invalid" HTML? And wouldn'...
