[WWW-HTML Mailing List Archive Home] [Messages By Thread] [Messages By Date] Suggestion for <SECTION> tag
From: Adeel Javed <adeel.research@gmail.com>
Date: Tue, 15 Feb 2005 11:20:10 +0000 Message-ID: <001b01c512bd$c4f84110$f9da51cb@server> To: <www-html@w3.org> We need to have a new tag in HTML that allows the authors to link only a part of an external webpage. Scenario ------------- - Information is dynamically generated from database and displayed on webpage a. - An author wants to display same information on webpage b. Since webpage b does not have access to the database so it cannot, the only way is to manually update it, or the other case is if there is a public xml page available and that can be displayed using stylesheets. - But this can be done efficiently using a special tag since this type of linking is required a lot. Instead of redirecting to an external website, we could do this if there was a way to simply display only a part of external page on our webpage. For this I think a SECTION tag would do. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <SECTION id="stockReport"> <!-- here goes the complete code that may be dynamically generated --> </SECTION> --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- webpage a Now this portion of the webpage could be accessed from another webpage by simply linking to this particular section of the page, using the LINK tag. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<!-- where you want to display the information --> <LINK url="url of the source page" sectionId="stockReport"/> --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- webpage b This is a better way according to me for external linking. -- Adeel Javed MS Computer Sciences University of Central Punjab PakistanReceived on Wednesday, 16 February 2005 07:32:42 GMT |
