Graeme Posted October 5, 2012 Report Posted October 5, 2012 Hello All, I'm using HTML 5 and when I go to use the <ul> my editor says it is depreciated. I know it might be as simple as declaring it in the style sheet but can I ask how? Thank you as always, Best wishes Graene Quote
falkencreative Posted October 5, 2012 Report Posted October 5, 2012 As far as I know, the <ul> isn't depreciated. I think either you can safely ignore that (your editor is wrong) or something else is going on? Quote
Graeme Posted October 5, 2012 Author Report Posted October 5, 2012 Thank you, It comes up in red but it is an old editior but I love it so I'll ignore it. Graeme Quote
LSW Posted October 5, 2012 Report Posted October 5, 2012 I have not heard of underline being deprecated either... then again web sites generally (should) shy away from it because on the web an underline means it is a link, so it can really irritate people who click on it and nothing happens. So there would be reason for it to be deprecated. My issue is with the editor... why would an editor that was created long ago when the UL would NOT have been deprecated, say it is deprecated now? I would expect issues from new HTML 5 tags not being recognized, but not claiming old tags it is used to being deprecated. Quote
newseed Posted October 5, 2012 Report Posted October 5, 2012 Hmm...the topic title is 'Underline'....isn't <ul> called 'unordered list'? Quote
newseed Posted October 5, 2012 Report Posted October 5, 2012 (edited) To add to my last post, <u> is 'underline' Edited October 5, 2012 by Eddie Quote
Andrea Posted October 5, 2012 Report Posted October 5, 2012 Hmm...the topic title is 'Underline'....isn't <ul> called 'unordered list'? I thought it looked funny - but it certainly didn't click. Good catch, Eddie. Quote
Graeme Posted October 5, 2012 Author Report Posted October 5, 2012 Woops, Apologies everybody! It is <U> I'm talking about, thank you Graeme Quote
Graeme Posted October 5, 2012 Author Report Posted October 5, 2012 Hi again, What is the best way to get some text to stand out within a sentence. I used <strong> but how can I change the colour? Thank you, Best wishes Graeme Quote
falkencreative Posted October 5, 2012 Report Posted October 5, 2012 If it's something simple you'll use once, then I'd use spans with inline CSS, or standard tags for bold, italic, etc. If it's something you'll use multiple times throughout the site, then I'd use a span with a CSS class, and then style the class in your stylesheet. And yes, <u> has been depreciated. You'd be better off doing underline with CSS using "text-decoration: underline".
