[WSG] best cc styling !
Hi, can you tell me what is the best way to style a simple layout format for this? http://lotusseedsdesign.com/sample.jpg. There are some 20 items in the page I usually use list with float, but the right column always create problem because of the height, especially in IE, and I always use the br / to compensate however I feel it a bad practice. P tag with break for each line isn't' good either and I try to avoid it. Much appreciated! tee ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help **
Re: [WSG] html validation: exactly what is it good for?
Shlomi Asaf: I have a question that crossed my mind, and i wish to get help from you guys: HTML Validation- what is it good for? It saves me a lot of time. While I keep my HTML/CSS validated I can *immediately* spot any new errors that I have introduced and fix them (with help from Firebug and HTML Tidy Firefox extensions). This way I spend much less time trying to find out why a page doesn't work as intended in one of the target browsers. /AndersN ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help **
Re: [WSG] html validation: exactly what is it good for?
My two cents... this is the analogy I give to clients when attempting to separate myself from the local standards-ignorant competition: Websites are like buildings. In every locale, a building code exists that standardizes the way buildings should be made. Without this code and its enforcement, we would have a real mess on our hands. The accessibility factor comes into play as well. The web is like a city with no enforced code, but with the code being developed with the eventual goal of enforcement. A simple Q and A: Can we foresee a time when compliant sites are a must? Yes. Do I have to build sites that conform to standards now? No. Is it wise to conform to standards? Yes. Are conforming sites more easily read by search engines and other devices? Yes. Does it take longer to build a compliant site? No. Are there sites that have to conform to a level of standards by law today? Yes. Does this guarantee better rankings? No. That simply leaves the argument that it is the right thing to do, especially looking ahead a few years and anticipating what it will take to build quality sites in the future. I don't want to speak for everyone, but the future certainly begins with valid code, be it HTML, XHTML, WAP or whatever your flavor. My clients appreciate this thinking, its shows that I actually care about there site beyond the handshake and payment. Its simply good business. -- Joseph R. B.
