[00:02]<lrydggj>Hi, the validator says that target=... is not valid in XHTML but I can't find 'target' anywhere in the XHTML 1.0 spec. Is it really removed in XHTML?
[00:03]<hrvrcn>try /#xhtml
[00:04]<lrydggj>/join?
[00:08]<hrvrcn>yeah
[00:08]<hrvrcn>theres a few poeple
[00:08]<hrvrcn>maybe they know
[00:09]<hrvrcn>and even if it doesn't validate, it might still work
[00:09]<lrydggj>it puzzles me that it says it's not supported
[00:10]<lrydggj>I still want to check the DTD and see...
[00:12]<lrydggj>duh, noone answers in #xhtml either
[00:12]<lrydggj>thanks anyway
[00:17]<lrydggj>oh, 'target' is defined just in transitional, not in strict
[00:17]<lrydggj>some day W3C will obsolete <a>
[00:18]<lrydggj>er, deprecate
[00:20]<hrvrcn>strict is the suck
[00:20]<hrvrcn>i can't wait for a microsoft standard

[00:43]<vnzan->CSS is making me commit suicide!
[00:43]<vnzan->If I only owned a gun...
[00:51]<vnzan->BOOM!
[02:37]<ydrrygn>what';s the good way to use a multilined textarea for a form?
[02:38]<mz-mznw>uh?
[02:39]<ydrrygn>I am makin a form with an option for my user to give me some feedbacks.. the <input type="text" /> doesn't cut it because it's only 1 lined.. and it only keeps writing on the same line...
[02:40]<wg22gg>textarea?
[02:40]<wg22gg>http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/interact/forms.html#h-17.7
[02:40]<ydrrygn>well can I use textarea in a <form> ?
[02:40]<wg22gg>follow the link
[02:40]<wg22gg>yes you can
[02:40]<ydrrygn>t
[02:40]<ydrrygn>ty
[02:46]<wjjsvr>Why the fuck do people keep asking that same stupid question? I mean, it's not like anyone asks if they can use radio buttons or a select in a form. Just textarea
[02:46]<mnajzn>im going to order a pizza and only eat half, then re-coup my money by hawking it on ebay claiming it was half-eaten by Linsday Lohan. Before throwing it up.
[02:46]<wjjsvr>Good idea .. let me know how it goes
[02:47]<mnajzn>The last part makes it belivable.
[02:47]<mnajzn>:D
[02:47]<mnajzn>Everyone knows she throws up her food!
[02:48]<wjjsvr>You'd probably make more if you sold the vomit ..
[02:49]<mnajzn>I tried selling a used Kevin Federline condom on ebay, but everyone realized that judging by Brittney's pregnancies they don't use 'em.
[02:49]<mnajzn>-t
[02:50]<wg22gg>Woosta: there should really be an FAQ in the topic
[02:51]<wjjsvr>FAQ: Yes, textarea is a valid form object.
[02:51]<wg22gg>exactly
[02:51]<wg22gg>FAQ: Yes, you may breathe etc...
[02:51]<wg22gg>and then we could just say `FAQ
[02:51]<wjjsvr>lol
[02:52]<wg22gg>i've been writing an _x_html faq partly to avoid having to explain section c over and over again
[02:53]<wg22gg>somebody could do something similar for this channel
[02:54]<wjjsvr>`html faq textarea
[02:54]<rtfs>html faq textarea: Yes, <textarea> is a valid form element
[02:54]<20rv>wt
[02:54]<wg22gg>oh good
[02:54]<wjjsvr>Uh oh
[02:54]<wg22gg>but that should include a link to the spec
[02:54]<20rv>`html textarea # that's what this is for
[02:54]<rtfs>html textarea: http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/forms.html#edef-TEXTAREA
[02:55]<wg22gg>ah
[02:55]<wg22gg>`html breathing
[02:55]<wjjsvr>We're just commenting that it keeps being asked about .. the link isn't so good for answering the question directly
[02:55]<wg22gg>no advice on breathing
[02:55]<wjjsvr>No :)
[02:55]<20rv>HTML doesn't breathe.
[02:56]<wjjsvr>There's no `human faq
[02:56]<wg22gg>there should be :)
[02:56]<wg22gg>problem with a bot is you still have to think which command to say
[02:57]<wg22gg>and sensible folk will actually read an faq before asking
[02:57]<wjjsvr>not in here
[02:57]<20rv>To be fair, most questions here aren't asked by sensible folk!
[02:57]<wg22gg>Woosta: how do you know? this is a high traffic channel, it will get its fair share of silly/frustrated folk
[02:57]<wg22gg>there will also be sensible ones
[02:58]<wg22gg>at any rat `faq
[02:58]<wg22gg>s/rat/rate
[02:58]<wg22gg>is really simple
[02:58]<wzsvznf>hi good html peeps. i'm setting up a little personal site and want a photo album and guest book, any advice ? I know html and basic cgi but am not an expert by any means
[03:00]<20rv>Guest books are relatively simple, and you could adapt something to your own needs from nms-cgi or some script archive
[03:00]<wjjsvr>cgi? I assume perl ..
[03:00]<wg22gg>Woosta, CGI can be anything
[03:00]<wjjsvr>In which case, I concur with b0at, use nms
[03:01]<wjjsvr>webben: yes, I know .. that's why I was question his knowledge of 'cgi'
[03:01]<wzsvznf>i know perl a little python and i've looked at a php script once.
[03:01]<wg22gg>oh i sorry what you meant, sorry
[03:01]<wg22gg>s/sorry what/see what/
[03:01]<20rv>He could know a few languages and understand what cgi is, that would be an appropriate interpretation.
[03:01]<wzsvznf>nms looks good thx
[03:01]<wzsvznf>i know c too but wouldn't code cgi in it :]
[03:01]<wjjsvr>wastrel: use NMS ,, ut gas a guestbook and I think an album
[03:02]<wjjsvr>is has
[03:02]<wjjsvr>(ut gas? wtf?)
[03:02]<20rv>got gas
[03:02]<mz-mznw>helloo boat
[03:03]<20rv>yes
[03:04]<mz-mznw>hows daddy today
[03:24]<20rv>Excelent01`: Wrong channel.
[03:26]<znysyj>Excelent01`: most any popular scanner will work under Linux, but if you want to be sure, just find a list somewhere of what works
[03:28]<wjjsvr>Check the SANE project on sourceforge
[03:29]<wjjsvr>But try asking in ##linux rather than #html .. seems a HELL of a lot more appropriate
[03:29]<wjjsvr>(there might even be a #sane .. haven't checked)
[03:29]<znysyj>booay :p
[03:42]<mz-mznw>whats the cursor for move in all directions
