Belive it or not, I propose, here in Quebec, my experience as web standard designer ( XHTML table-less, CSS, DOM, Javascript) and no companies were interested. It seems I was talking a foreign langage. I believe, in general, that companies are not open minded for new ways of working. If there were more companies interested in web standard may be schools of design, would be more attentive to explain to students the Web Standard. I believe that software like DreamWeaver doesn't help us to promote web standard. Pages made with DreamWeaver are rarely standard, even their javascript are sometimes buggy. Some companies, can not imagine what can we do without DreamWeaver just with simpleText or NodePad and using Web Standard. To my opinion, I think that - may be I am wrong- a new SoftWare as Quark Xpress which give you a standard result and which work in a table-less way will be a good idea. That is why, I work this year to create this kind of SoftWare. It will be ready in December. I Hope that it will give the opportunity, even for people who are not still familar with web standard, to create web standard table-less pages.
