the difference between "structural " and "presentational " elements is.
thanks a lot.

I would it explain as follows:
- Anything for the sole purpose of influancing the looks of the content is
a presentational element; For example (tags) <b>, <i> and <u>.
- All the rest is structural, although in graphical browsers they do
influance the looks too; For example (tags) <strong> and <em>.

The structural elements do what the phrase suggests: they provide
structure. They are (in a way) semantic. A paragraph being a paragraph, a
list being a list, a heading being a heading.

Structural inheritance (inheriting implementation) is equivalent to composition in that a particular method must either call 'Base::foo' or invoke 'base.foo'.

For example, is structural inheritance more difficult to maintain? More difficult to test? Have a larger impact on...

Hi everyone. I'm searching for a quick and dirty way to have psql record the SQL statements that I enter, especially those related to the database structure. My main motivation is to help keep what will probably be a production server up-to-date with my development server. I've thought a little about replication, but the current options for that seem like overkill for the relatively small database that I have. I'm particularly

Since there is no authoritative specification on how to map presentational HTML elements and attributes to CSS, and even no informal description (as far as I can see), I finally composed one: http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/html2css.html The idea was to create something simple, but now it looks rather messy. Anyway, maybe it's of some use. I do _not_ recommend converting old pages (using presentational HTML) to anything, in general, but...
