Re: [WSG] Slashdot HTML 4.01 and CSS
Yeah, it's been nice, that was one of the things I alwasy hated about slashdot. It got particularly funny and flamish whenever they posted articles that had to do with web standards. It's great to see more big sites moving towards web standards, hopefully Google will get around to it some day.

Re: [WSG] Slashdot HTML 4.01 and CSS
Hi Kenny, Yes I did feel a bit like I really should have added some of my valuable input as is so often seen on Slashdot ...ahem! Then I realised that too would be posting a pointless comment about a posting of a section of an article from a site that posts sections of articles and therefore would be a cycle of unstoppable power. Anyway in non-silliness, love it or hate it that site has a massive amount of traffic and has been the subject of "when is it going to clean up it's html/css act" jibes for a long time so to see it converting is another notch in the righteous pillar of web standards. Nick Ahh... posting a section of an article from a site that posts sections of articles... and so the cycle continues. ;) On 9/23/05, Nick Lo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Slashdot HTML 4.01 and CSS "After 8 years of my nasty, crufty, hodge podged together HTML, last night we finally switched over to clean HTML 4.01 with a full complement of CSS.
