[09:35:45 CDT(-0500)] <jhung> justin_o, or anyone else. Does anyone know if Firefox will be supporting the <menu> element in the near future?

[09:36:15 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o> jhung: not that i'm aware of

[09:36:55 CDT(-0500)] <jhung> I did some googling and it doesn't seem to be on anyone's radar. At least very little chatter about it.

[09:37:30 CDT(-0500)] <jhung> justin_o: yeah, it'd be nice to use it, especially where we;re using Lists as menus

[09:38:05 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o> jhung: yes.. i agree.. hopefully they'll have it in soon

[09:38:20 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o> jhung: i found this roadmap info, but don't know if it has the details about html5 support

[09:38:20 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o> https://wiki.mozilla.org/Features/Release_Tracking

[09:39:15 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o> jhung: looks like FF 8 will be out on Nov 8

[09:39:36 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o> you could probably try out the beta build now and see if there is any support for it

[09:43:20 CDT(-0500)] <jhung> Interesting. I think I'll stick with what's supported in FF7 for now. Maybe for Decapod 0.6 we'll look into adding that markup justin_o, assuming it's supported.

[09:45:56 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o> jhung: okay.. it may not actually matter. i would assume it would just treat it as a div or span at the moment.. which would just set the display mode automatically.. we could change that in css if necessary

[09:46:20 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o> then it will just work when browsers support it.. unless you are seeing some other side effects at the moment

[09:46:25 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o> jhung: ^

[09:48:54 CDT(-0500)] <jhung> How safe is it to assume that the Menu element will remain a semantic markup and that the user agent won't do something visually?

[09:49:17 CDT(-0500)] <jhung> I'd hate to add the markup in and then realize later that FF is presenting it oddly.

[09:50:11 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o> hmm.. that's a good question.. i would assume that none input type elements shouldn't have any additional styling other than display type like block or inline, but you never know

[09:51:07 CDT(-0500)] <jhung> yeah. I think for now if it isn't broke, we don't fix it. (big grin)

[10:33:01 CDT(-0500)] <heidi_> Justin_o stand up?

[10:33:19 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o> heidi_: thanks.. total forgot

[10:34:13 CDT(-0500)] <jhung> we're setting up, give us a minute...
