XHTML validating block level element as a link
- by Matty F
I need a way to make an entire DL element clickable with only one anchor tag, that validates as XHTML. As in:
<a>
<dl>
<dt>Data term</dt>
<dd>Data definition</dd>
</dl>
</a>
This currently doesn't validate as XHTML as the anchor tag cannot contain the DL. The only way I can get it to validate is if I make two anchor tags and place them inside DT and DD. As in:
<dl>
<dt><a>Data term</a></dt>
<dd><a>Data definition</a></dt>
</dl>
I'm trying to avoid this, as it would result in two href attributes requiring maintenance, introducing the possibility they could become out of sync.
Suggestions?
