Hi All.
Im not familiar with test plans for Websites, i have my own way of running
tests that usually run of what the client wants i.e: "Is the header 320px
heigh? and does it expand when the font size is incremented?".
I have to do an in depth test plan for an assignment, which i would also use
A CMS system bases itself on templates. A template file will get re-used
over and over as many times as it needs so if you add the following to the
index.php page (which is the base for every page within the CMS):
That will give the div a border, because its a template file any page that
uses it
HTML is the structure and content, CSS is the presentation, Javascript is
the behaviour.
Its perfectly valid to include in-line styles if you like making life hard
for yourself and enjoy updating messy mark-up thats difficult to read. There
may be extreme cases when you need to use inline styles,
ugh, some valid points on both ends i feel.

I highly doubt that presentational styles will effect SEO.
When you use display:none you are not removing the
content from the source, you are just hiding it from
users viewing the web page.
If you was to remove the element from the source using
DOM that would be different.

This is my view.
If an image is for aesthetic purposes, it should be in with the CSS.
If an image is to be used as part of the content, for example, the image
of your wife, then it should be within tags.

That is incorrect. Lets say you have:
