The div soup is for apps and semantic html is for documents. Not knowing the difference creates this kind of frustration.
- oneeyedpigeon 1y agoThe problem is, a LOT of people are treating documents as if they are apps.
- vaylian 1y agoIt might be that there is no built-in functionality for some things in pure HTML. But most of the time, standard HTML tags provide all the functionality you need, even for web applications. And this benefits people with disabilities.
- bapak 1y agoYou missed the point entirely. You should still use appropriate tags like a, button, label, input and not div, div, div, div. Even apps have links
- blabla1224 1y agoInput controls are always used by the apps (99.9%) and the post and div soup is not about that.
- xigoi 1y agoButtons are often replaced by divs for no apparent reason. Look at Facebook for example.
- TeMPOraL 1y agoNah, div soups are for when you really insist your app UI must look like you want, instead of being ergonomic or useful to end users.
