I’ve lowered the vcard class assignment into listingAddressAndAttributes and used the include pattern to pull in the org name from the outer div. Works like a charm.

I also added ‘org’ along with the ‘fn’ class assignment.

Finally, your Operator plugin has been invaluable for debugging. It has immediately joined WebDeveloper and Firebug as must-have development Add-Ons.

Anyone reading can download it here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4106

I think is this an example of a PERFECT candidate for the include pattern (http://microformats.org/wiki/include-pattern)

Here’s how it would work.

Add vcard to listingAddressAndAttributes.

Then add an id to the h1 that contains the name of the business (we’ll use id=bus_title)

Then add this to the vcard:

<a href=”#bus_title” class=”include”></a>

and you have your hcard

For example I just learned that Operator has a debug mode which give amazing visibility into exactly what is being extracted with your microformat and why.

Brizzziliant!

for instance, the vcard was added to a near toplevel div (pagecontent).

It could have been added as low as listingAddressAndAttributes and still worked, and then the label wouldn’t be nested in the vcard.

That’s the kind of community support I always hoped for! I’ve been using Operator since I saw you speak at SXSW, but not for debugging, so that’s a great tip.

The one issue I have is that ‘label’ is a common class name we use on our site for 3 years now. It would be annoying to change. I’m going to to have to go look for the way to indicate a certain class should NOT be considered part of the hCard.

And then I’ll yank it out from the search results page. (And ad the org class ;)

1. When you do a Local Search, there is a microformat on that page that doesn’t make sense. It’s vcard with an fn of “Local Search”

2. the hCard for individual business when you click on them from local search does not contain “org” on the fn. This means that they are not actually marked as businesses, so the cards could get parsed incorrectly.

3. the hCard for individual businesses contains some erroneous label content related to the review. I think it’s because the class “label” was used for something unrelated to the hCard, but it is nested in the hCard.

Incidentally, I found all these issues using Operator.
