<div dir="ltr">Hi all,<div><br></div><div style>I've posted about this in the past but it seems to have been ignored so I am airing this on the help mailing list as it is an issue I think needs to be fixed.</div><div style>
<br></div><div style>traditionally linking to external stylesheets has always been done with:</div><div style><link href="url" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"></div><div style>the link tag being used not only for stylesheets but also to link other media.</div>
<div style><br></div><div style>however, when embedding css into our documents we use:</div><div style><style type="text/css"></style></div><div style>or simply the new html5 way:</div><div style><style></style></div>
<div style><br></div><div style>traditionally linking to javascript had been done with:</div><div style><script src="url" type="text/javascript"></script></div><div style>which was written so as to execute both external & embedded scripts.</div>
<div style>or now in html 5 simply:</div><div style><script src="url"></script></div><div style><br></div><div style>why cant the styles tag follow suite and use:</div><div style><style src="url"></style></div>
<div style>?</div><div style><br></div><div style>this would simplify the use of both external & embedded styles.</div><div style>scripts using <script src=""></script></div><div style>styles using <style src=""></style></div>
<div style><br></div><div style>additional points I would like to suggest are to do with the use of both:</div><div style>href="" & src="" when linking content.</div><div style>href means hyperlink reference & src means source</div>
<div style><br></div><div style>would it make sense to define some better practice standards around this?</div><div style>href means hyperlink reference. it is used for linking within/to other pages.</div><div style>src means source. it is used to link to media content beyond a page.</div>
<div style>shouldn't these be defined more as such?</div><div style><br></div><div style>I hope that everyone appreciates these comments.</div><div style>Sincerely</div><div style>Amy Soyka</div></div>
