Web Standards

CSS

Cascading Style Sheets, CSS, replace HTML <font> elements and other common text formatting elements. There is CSS 1, CSS 2.1, and CSS 3. Web browsers work with CSS 1 and parts of CSS 2. Forget the CSS mess. Call a Web Architect to set standards for your Web site. You can then use the following symbol to indicate your Web site is clean.

Valid CSS.

XHTML

XHTML replace HTML. The change is relatively simple. XHTML is simply XML compliant HTML. XHTML can give you a lot more than HTML but you do not have to use that extra power straight up. Just convert from HTML to XHTML as the first step.

XHTML does things that HTML never did. Many commonly used Web browsers either cannot do the extra things provided by XHTML or can only perform a small part. Instead of guessing about XHTML, or expecting your staff to discover everything themselves, call a Web Architect to set standards for your Web site. You can then use the following symbol to show your Web site is clean.

Valid XHTML 1.0.

Conclusion

There are many more standards that work together to make your Web site safe and effective long in to the future. Call a Web Architect to plan your Web future.

Hi Peter!

It's kind of ironic that this very page has one validation errors and 7 warnings according to the HTML Tidy plugin in Firefox. It would be nice to see a page dedicated to valid (X)HTML code to be valid itself!

Anyways, keep up good work!

Drabz.

Hello Drabz,
I fixed both of the errors. One was a typo in my text within some markup. The second error was in the code supplied by Drupal. They have already fixed the problem in the next release. Thank you for reminding me to check the site after upgrading to a new version of Drupal.
