Hello, I just wrote this article about how to format the dialog element. This is what I?m doing for one year now and, barring poor browser support, I?m fairly happy with it. It could be used for a sample stylesheet. <http://blog.empyree.org/post/3049> HTM5/Web Applications?1.0 proposes the dialog element. It will add something on the semantic level (?the dt is the name of the person?). But on the presentational level (CSS), this is how I?m doing for more than one year: CSS dl.run-in, dl.run-in dd {margin:0} dl.run-in dt, dl.run-in dt:after {font-weight:bold} dl.run-in dt {display:run-in} dl.run-in.colon dt:after {content:": "} XHTML <dl class="run-in colon"> <dt>Person</dt> <dd>Speech</dd> <dt>Other person</dt> <dd>Other speech</dd> [?] </dl> Preview Luke: A certain point of view? Obi-Wan: Luke, you?re going to find that many of the truths we cling to depend greatly on our own point of view. And the addendum for a sample style sheet for <whatever the name will be>: dialog, dialog dd {margin:0} dialog dt, dialog dt:after {font-weight:bold} dialog dt {display:run-in} dialog dt:after {content:": "} For the record: Firefox doesn?t support it (I?m requesting it out loud), while Opera does for ages;So do Webkit?s nightly builds. -- </david_latapie> U+0F00 http://blog.empyree.org/fr (Fran?ais) http://blog.empyree.org/en (English) http://blog.empyree.org/sl (Slovene)
