@Brian: Very excellent. Which site of yours is that? Could you post the link?

@LJ: I agree with you 100%. The hurdle is rethinking how we code in order to achieve similar results. Did you see the articles I posted in the Cross Browser Compatibility thread? I think you'll enjoy the one about coding for Netscape.

Not validated yet, been spending my time trying to get another site going for youth group. (don't mind the html 4.0 reference in the source code, that's added automagically by the editor I use)

I don't know...doesn't make much sense...

That didn't work... How do I get both the border and the bottom to work?

Hmmm got me there!

Future standars! - More sites will comply, resistance is futile!
Colaboration! - The standards idea is that many people specify the standards, like lots of big companies.
Cross-platform! - Standard means that its standardized and will work on any platform.

blah balh Im tired, ask the W3C, night night all!

@Sesshoumaru-Sama Did you add class="bordercolorbottom" to the table cell, ex. <td class="bordercolorbottom">, that you want the bottom border to apear on?

[Pretend]

Yes, I did.

If you have any other ideas of how to help, go to my thread in the Scripting forum. That way we're not poluting this thread.

seems to me no one here really gets the syntax of CSS. It's quite simple really. All mulitple word commands are connected by a "-". Whether it is a propety or value. If you wanna ad color to the bottom border and only the bottom border it would

.Classname{border-bottom:Style Size Color}

Styleis equal to: ridge,groove,inset,outset,solid,dashed,dotted,or inherit
Size is equal to: xx-small through xx-large or a unit(px)
and Color is any hex value or color name.

Validating code is quite simple really it's just attention to detail.
Even if you still with to use deprecated elements you can validate using transitional instead of strict.

w3 validation is like speed limits. Some countries have them - but most people ignore them and other countries dont even have them.

If it works in Firefox, IE and possibly Opera - then as long as you are not catering to specific things - it should be okay.

People seem to forget that the W3C is basically just a set of guidelines made by some people. Just because your sites returns as invalid on their site doesn't mean it's coded 'wrongly' or anything. I hate this subject more than any other. Most of my sites don't validate cos I don't bother trying to make them. Again, it's because I have to get through too many sites to afford the time to do this. I don't agree with them anyway so that's another reason i don't

Just realised this thread is 3 years old and had been bumped

I got a couple of sites 100% compliant, but I dont think the content is appropriate for this forum

and I allways stick to XHTML 1.0 Strict doctype, cause that's least buggy imo

[Kalina]

Well my blog, http://www.mystical-twilight.com/ is compliant.

[reteep]

I give a shit on w3c validation. I need my sites to work on (almost) every Browser and those sites are never 100% compliant.

I've also ran checks on several of the sites posted, and not one has validated properly. I know it's easy to get caught up in the design and aesthetics, but what about complying to web standards? Thoughts?

If you do have a site that validates, please post the link.

Check your markup here: http://validator.w3.org/

Check your CSS here: http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator-uri.html

Recently, I made a page in my site that complies with w3c web standards. That will be the layout for all my pages within the website.

My site validates:

Possibly due to the simplicity of it!

[brandrocker]

I, usually, take care of HTML mark up validation and my site validates. It requires some practice to write valid syntax. But once acquired, it may not be that much difficult to validate your new sites further.
