Re: [Zope] SV: [Zope] "http://www.zope.org": HORRIBLE HTML

Zope doesn't actually 'produce' HTML in most cases.

The HTML in question was almost certainly written by hand or by a third
party product (DreamWeaver etc).

Please, take a look at the errors the validator outputs before you post messages like

Well you did at least draw some attention to the thing, but I must be honest and say 
that I'm quite happy with the way Zope produces HTML. 

Hope you don't feel like I'm barking back, but after having looked at it closer, the 
HTML is not bad at all.

Right now, Zope.org tries to balance between IE users, NS 4.x users, and
emacs/text mode users.

Around the same time that NS 6 comes out, zope.org will be transitioning
to a fully w3c standard compliant site.  This will break NS 4, and that
is what's kept us doing patently wrong things.

This isn't a failing of Zope: the software itself can serve arbitrary
HTML pages.

This is entirely our (Zope.org website maintainers) fault. Zope.org in it's
current state has somewhat "evolved" over time as people had some spare time
to apply fixes in between jobs, which shows in the, ahem, dare I say "quality"
of the produced HTML.

That said, we did _try_ to bring up the HTML to succesfully validate through
W3C's tools, but as it turns out Netscape's CSS implementation is so buggy we
need to leave the  end-tags to keep things working.. =(

I think this can be mostly attributed to the people who built zope.org. If
I validate some pretty plain standard page, I get nothing
except:

Error: Missing DOCTYPE declaration at start of document (explanation...)

...which arguably isn't really necessarry.

Of course, each product than includes rendered objects is only as good as
the html of its authors. But to say Zope generates terrible html is a bit
much, imho. ;-)

2000-07-07 Thread J. Atwood

Zope produces the HTML that you tell it to produce. The only thing that I
can think of that has native html in it is the  tags which
use tables. 

My guess is that the DC crew is more worried about creating the best web
application server on the market than validating html.
