Re: [WSG] standards in local government
Hi, I was even more surprised to find an entire Australian government department website not only uses an effective table-free design, not only has a website which is at least partially accessible, not only does it collapse well when styling is removed, it is also XHTML 1.0 conformant! http://www.dfat.gov.au/ Incredible. Unfortunately they've got *one* CSS error. Ahh well, they're not doing too shabbily...
