If standards conscious designers already follow conventions, then the stage is set. So I decided to look at forty designers’ sites to see what conventions were being used in common page elements like headers and banners, navigation, content and footers. Here’s what I found.

it makes a lot of sense to standardize on common container names like header, content, navigation. this allows to share CSS across sites and create a nice CSS skin repository. bergie, who pointed me to this, seems to agree. maybe OSCOM should set up a set of “recommended div elements” and start a CSS repository that uses them?
2006-10-15: nice. standardized css is something i have long worked for at OSCOM, somewhat in vain.
