[devat]

hi dear all

now a day making a new web sites is dependent on W3C rules formulla ?


Thanks

That depends on the web designer, if he/she wants to follow the rules.

Costin's right. It's up to the individual coder, but more and more people and corporations are taking these standards to heart.

You will find more often than not that your favorite websites are not valid by wc3 standards. The wc3 standards do have benefits such as "well formliness" (if I spelt that correctly) and use of the latest web-design trends. This can speed up your site and make it more likely to have a cross borwser standard. I keep my site wc3 valid all the way through but a lot of times its difficult if I use a script that has attributes that arn't recognized i.e (starcolor=indigo) for my ratings script , and I find my self editing java script (in the few places I even use it) so that it works. If I didn't include that damn wc3 valid image on all my pages to begin with I might not have been so concerned by it!

I get the idea that the percentage of "compliant" sites is rising.

Give me one good reason why you would choose to write non-standards-based code (aside from not knowing any better)

Hi, do you know of any web-link or book(s) detailing what rules to follow for the W3C standard. I agree with you that it's a good practice to get used to it as some employer sees it as 'very important' now.

Thanks

yComms - you really need to have your eyes checked; that guy's status is "inactive" which means that he hasn't visited this forum for quite some time and you ask him for help...

fine by me...

[yComms]

thanks for the insult, you might as well answer the question instead of wasting time on how your eyes should be tested. if anyone knows, pls help.

#1. first off, you could've start a new thread and refer to this one (instead of reviving a year old thread)
#2. that wasn't an insult, and I didn't waste any of my time writing it (I don't know where did you get that idea)
#3. W3C has published everything about their work. To know what rules to follow you should read their published specifications. It's all in there.

W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) - Home page for the whole W3C

There are different sections of the W3C website, depending on which technology you are interested in. Down the left of their home page there is a list of links to the different sections.

To start with, you would want to look at the following sections, as they would help you understand basic errors shown in the results when you run your pages through the W3C Validator:

HTML 4.01 Specification
XHTML™ 1.0 The Extensible HyperText Markup Language (Second Edition)

If you (or your employer) need to know about accessibility:
Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI)

One of the previous posters mentioned having to edit scripts they want to use that did not pass validation. If you want to add scripts you found somewhere on the net and want you web pages to validate, then you are going to have to learn that particular scripting language too.
