extraUserInfo

[James]

I'm not sure about semantics of things, but I am wondering why on the Kitchen Sink style that each postbit user info has its own definition listing? I understand that in this sense the definition list has been used to show the relationship between the term and the description, but as they are all part of the userinfo wouldn't it make sense for them to be all in one definition listing?

Code snippet:

<div class="extraUserInfo">
	<dl class="pairsInline">
		<dt>Member Since:</dt>
		<dd>Sep 1, 2010</dd>
	</dl>
	<dl class="pairsInline">
		<dt>Message Count:</dt>
		<dd><a href="search/member?user_id=1705" class="concealed">256</a></dd>
	</dl>
	<dl class="pairsInline">
		<dt>Likes Received:</dt>
		<dd>29</dd>
	</dl>
	<dl class="pairsInline">
		<dt>Trophy Points:</dt>
		<dd><a href="members/sushubh-mittal.1705/trophies" class="OverlayTrigger concealed">28</a></dd>
	</dl>
	<dl class="pairsInline">
		<dt>Gender:</dt>
		<dd itemprop="gender">Male</dd>
	</dl>
	<dl class="pairsInline">
		<dt>Location:</dt>
		<dd><a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Gurgaon%2C+Haryana" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" itemprop="address" class="concealed">Gurgaon, Haryana</a></dd>
	</dl>
	<dl class="pairsInline">
		<dt>Homepage:</dt>
		<dd><a href="http://sushubh.net/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" itemprop="url">http://sushubh.net/</a></dd>
	</dl>
</div>

Presumably you mean like this?

<div class="extraUserInfo">
    <dl class="pairsInline">
        <dt>Member Since:</dt>
        <dd>Sep 1, 2010</dd>

        <dt>Message Count:</dt>
        <dd><a href="search/member?user_id=1705" class="concealed">256</a></dd>

        <dt>Likes Received:</dt>
        <dd>29</dd>

        <dt>Trophy Points:</dt>
        <dd><a href="members/sushubh-mittal.1705/trophies" class="OverlayTrigger concealed">28</a></dd>

        <dt>Gender:</dt>
        <dd itemprop="gender">Male</dd>

        <dt>Location:</dt>
        <dd><a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Gurgaon%2C+Haryana" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" itemprop="address" class="concealed">Gurgaon, Haryana</a></dd>

        <dt>Homepage:</dt>
        <dd><a href="http://sushubh.net/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" itemprop="url">http://sushubh.net/</a></dd>
    </dl>
</div>

I suspect it's just the way the code is built up using the Style Properties editor in the ACP.

Yeah Brogan, like that. It makes more sense (IMO) than having to redefine the definition list in every term.

It's actually a lot easier to customize them with individual lists. There are some issues in IE that make dealing with float and alignment of dt-dd combinations really problematic.

Why doesn't that surprise me

Indeed. I can only imagine the frustrations Mike and Kier must have been through already
