Just discovered bug 188734 . We should investigate the use of :target in CSS to
improve Help usability.

hmm. interesting. I saw an example here:
http://www.twisty.com/misc/tests/css/target-trick.html#a and it's making me
think about this more.

This could be a good idea for the Help Search or maybe index entries? What did
you have in mind, Daniel?

only apply to <p> and <li> for hard-to-find information linked from Index and
Search. We don't want to heighlight a whole block or the headings.

When would the <p> or <li> tags ever be targeted? It'd be a very rare case.

I like the .ui changes, but I don't like the :target addon. I don't feel that
it would be beneficial, and having h1:target, h2:target might end up causing
some confusion (it did for me, at least :)).

Maybe a better idea would be connecting this with bug 158773?

MASS-CHANGE:
This bug report is registered in the SeaMonkey product, but has been without a comment since the inception of the SeaMonkey project. This means that it was logged against the old Mozilla suite and we cannot determine that it's still valid for the current SeaMonkey suite. Because of this, we are setting it to an UNCONFIRMED state.

If you can confirm that this report still applies to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it back to the NEW state along with a comment on how you reproduced it on what Build ID, or if it's an enhancement request, why it's still worth implementing and in what way.
If you can confirm that the report doesn't apply to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it to the appropriate RESOLVED state (WORKSFORME, INVALID, WONTFIX, or similar).
If no action happens within the next few months, we move this bug report to an EXPIRED state.

As we don't use .ui anymore and it wasn't considered a good idea to have p, li, h1 or h2 targets. Marking as WONTFIX
