Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Usability/HTML
Cleanup request
Seriously, this page is a disgrace, putting it mildly. Its very first line (now below a warning) was:
<div style="float:right;">__TOC__</div>
This inline CSS has no effect on old browsers, for a backwards compatible ToC floating right you'd need something like:
{| align="right"
|
__TOC__
|}
Details TBD. Actually I think it's a fundamentally bad idea to overwrite the general look and feel of Wikipedia pages with a ToC near the upper left corner of a page. One apparently accepted method is a navigation box floating to the right of the lead section and ToC, and maybe extending further down floating to the left of an intro section. Until it finally gets out of hand clobbering the main content depending on the used browser, the moment where it should be deleted for good.
Worse, the page states that Wiki markup is generally better than XHTML hacks: I'd second this, so why give an unnecessarily bad example in the very first line of the page? -- Omniplex 20:43, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
