G'day
I wrote this article thinking about the general laxism I can see all around me (about web coding). Its title is "Writing with a markup language". What do you think about? - www.mibmagazine.it/article.php?id=51
Firstly, I do not understand Italian (other than a few words) and therefore do not know what the article talks about.
However, I do understand markup. (x)HTML in particular. The web page on which the article is published is a typical example of (to quote from your email) "general laxism I can see all around me (about web coding)".
1. It has 104 validation errors 2. It has presentational tables nested up to 5 levels deep. 3. Uses images for navigation, without text alternative 4. Does not pass accessibility checkpoints (not even Section 508) 5. Uses font elements, which belong in the museum. 6. Makes extensive use of spacer images? 7. Slow loading (too many images?) 8. No Headings (h1..h6)?
If you're going to tell people about markup and accessibility, at least present it on a page which actually uses that markup properly and is accessible.
