hey anne, the google data gives no indication of the number of uses of a particular class name on a web page, if for example the class name "header" was in the main only used once, then it effectively the same as the other data, so if the google data is being used as justification for the way the header is currently specced it does not provide adequate evidence. is there data available that shows 'header' is used as a class name in the majority or even often more than once in web pages same goes for 'footer' regards steve 2009/3/28 Anne van Kesteren <annevk@opera.com>: > On Sat, 28 Mar 2009 00:58:30 +0100, Steven Faulkner > <faulkner.steve@gmail.com> wrote: >> >> from the data >> http://www.stuffandnonsense.co.uk/archives/naming_conventions_table.html > > That's just a few sites.
