Hey, noticed you changed an id to a class. It wasn't wrong to do so, but then again in contexxt it was right to begin with. You cannot have more than one identical id on a page, that's when you def do not want to use id. Class can be used to style, just like id, but it cannot serve as a link destination like id can. That's the essential difference. So if id is used to style, and it's the only such id on the page, it's not best practice but it's not wrong per se. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 01:38, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

Interviews Permissions

Hi there Ed, I noticed you sent an email to the leet people, asking for permission to reprint their article. What I'm wondering is, did they ever send permission to reprint it to you? If so, would you be able to post the email conversation on the talk page for the interview? Thanks, Thunderbird 16:19, 13 May 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, I'll post it there.

Banned

Hey man. Do you have any idea why I'm banned from the IRC chat? --Homsar

Again? I have no idea why this time... Maybe it will just be for a short time, like it was for me. EDSMILDE

Sig recommendations

Ed, I got looking at some pages on the wiki that have validation issues, and it looks like your sig could be creating some of them. You're using a font tag in your sig, which has actually been deprecated in current specs, meaning it's no longer a valid tag. It isn't keep our pages from validating since we're using the XHTML 1.0 Transitional DOCTYPE, but if we ever switch to a more strict DOCTYPE in the future it might become a problem. I also couldn't help but notice you're working awfully hard to create a small-cap effect. There's an easier way to do that with CSS.

Check out this code:

<span style="font-family: tw cen mt; font-variant: small-caps;">EdSmilde</span>

That should render your sig like this: EdSmilde. Let me know if you have any questions about this recommendation. Thanks. — wikisig.gif Joey (talk·edits) 19:33, 14 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Fixed, thanks :-) EdSmilde
I probably should have known that, being on the validation committee and stuff...

So, you know you listed your favorite quote twice, right? —AbdiViklas 16:24, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

You know the ; at the end of the last property/value statement is optional? It merely needs to be in between sets of properties and values. Qermaq - (T/C) Image:Qermaqsigpic.png 23:23, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

class vs id

Hey, noticed you changed an id to a class. It wasn't wrong to do so, but then again in contexxt it was right to begin with. You cannot have more than one identical id on a page, that's when you def do not want to use id. Class can be used to style, just like id, but it cannot serve as a link destination like id can. That's the essential difference. So if id is used to style, and it's the only such id on the page, it's not best practice but it's not wrong per se.
