Re: Bold links

Hello tedd, I'm standing up and applauding you. Really, I'm... quite touched. There are too few people that care about us, I mean, JAWS users. Of course, we, my wife and I, develop accessible websites ourselves but... there is lots of inaccessible stuff out there. -- With best regards from Ukraine, Andre Skype: Francophile My blog: http://oire.org/menelion (mostly in Russian) Twitter: http://twitter.com/m_elensule Facebook: http://facebook.com/menelion ------------ Original message ------------ From: tedd <tedd.sperling@gmail.com> To: admin@buskirkgraphics.com Date created: , 12:56:34 AM Subject: [PHP] Bold links At 1:39 PM -0400 5/7/11, <admin@buskirkgraphics.com> wrote: ><?php global $current_user; > get_currentuserinfo(); > > echo 'Welcome &nbsp;<B>' . $current_user->user_firstname .

First, never use <B> -- or <I> for that matter. Second, use <strong> or <em> instead. Readers can understand and render STRONG and EMPHASIZED text, but not <B> and <I> text -- those tags mean nothing and that's the reason why they are not encouraged for use and even removed from XHTML. Third, if neither of those tags (i.e., <strong> or <em> ) work for you, they try using a class (or an id) with a css rule of: .whatever { font-weight: bold; } or #whatever { font-weight: bold; } Cheers, tedd -- ------- http://sperling.com/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
