Re: [WSG] Validate a PNG?
Could it perhaps be joomla related?:o)(absalom media is responsible for several contributions to the joomla community; especially a tutorial from which myself and numerous others have greatly benefited) just workflow your design how you want to, then screencap it, and send it in (as a jpg or png, naturally).they can't disqualify you by guessing how you may have come to your design.

It looks like the organisers are still thinking of design in terms of the layercake workflow, which seems to go against current trends for rapid CSS prototyping of design work. I can submit an image. The workflow for the design mustn't be rapid CSS prototyping as the workflow I use is somehow considered a rules violation, even though it ends up with a design prototype as requested. > Weird.

[WSG] Validate a PNG?
I'm involved in a template competition at the moment and the requirements state XHTML and CSS compliance as a specific requirement for submission to the contest. The twist is that the designs must be submitted as PNG or JPG, and as far as I know, there isn't a mechanical validation system that validates a Photoshopped layout to web standards compliance. Could this be a misunderstanding on the part of the competition hosters as to the difference between layercake designing and rapid CSS prototyping ? Thought, comments, flames all welcome ;) Lawrence -- Lawrence Meckan Absalom Media Mob: (04) 1047 9633 ABN: 49 286 495 792 http://www.absalom.biz ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help **
