HTML and CSS Reference
In-Depth Information
Also note that the UK government has recommended that, for accessibility, certain key
bindings should be predefined in UK Web sites. These suggested values are found in Table 3-3.
Page authors are also encouraged to consider styling or providing script-based schemes
to reveal
accesskey
bindings because they may not be obvious to users even when a
convention like the UK bindings is employed.
align
Many browsers define the
align
attribute on elements. Transitional versions of (X)HTML
do as well. This attribute generally takes a value of
left
,
right
, or
center
, which
determines how the element and its contents are positioned in a table or the window. The
value of
left
is usually the default. In some cases, a value of
justify
is also supported.
CSS properties like
text-align
and
margin
should be used instead of this attribute when
possible.
contenteditable
This proprietary Microsoft attribute, now part of the HTML5 specification, allows users to
directly edit content in a browser. Values are
false
,
true
, and
inherit
. A value of
false
prevents content from being edited by users;
true
allows editing. The default value,
inherit
, applies the value of the affected element's parent element. In addition to Internet
Explorer, all recent major browsers, such as Firefox 3+, Safari 3+, and Opera 9.5+, also
support this attribute.
