what?????????

thats a big load of BS!!!!!

what does using coldfusion have to do with mangling your code?
if you do a simple google search you will find out the what mangles code and makes it a lot more work to unmangle is .net and vs, which is what u'd expect when you let m$ write any of your code for you (look at frontpage code and decide if you want m$ to write your code).

coldfusion actually makes it much easier to control your layout code because of its tag based syntax and ease of use porting it into your pages.

Sorry wayne but that wasnt a good answer ;)

most of the server sides are good with compliance except .net, which you obviously can get to work but it requires much more time to "unmangle" what ms gives you which shouldnt be a suprise to anyone!!!

"The code I have seen being churned out looks
like it has gone through a mangler with huge chunks of white space etc. "
then you are comparing what you yourseld do to someone using cfm that doesnt know how to do it correctly, those chucks of whitespace are obviously when cfm code is and a simple solution it to wrap code thats in the presentaion view with <cfsilent>cfm code</cfsilent> and that will take away the whitespace.


"ASP.NET does not produce code that is capable of passing successful validation in any of the SRTICT modes (see Eric Meyer's Picking a Rendering Mode and W3C's List of valid DTDs you can use in your document for more information on DOCTYPEs). To enforce XHTML compliant code it takes some effort to implement automatic code cleaning (all right, fudging)."

I think you will find that coldfusion makes life harder in respect to
web standards compliance. The code I have seen being churned out looks
like it has gone through a mangler with huge chunks of white space etc.

In general though, I agree with James, the server side language should
not really hinder this, I am developing a couple of sites using ASP.NET
and the layout is pure CSS using XHTML strict. The IDE might have more
effect on this as some of them play around with your code, but that is
easily averted by not using design view and taking the time to configure
them properly.

Recently i worked on a project that involved visual studio and the whole
asp.net thing. I was reading on the maxdesign site that they only use
asp by
special request as it is not a "rapid development solution".

I guess my question is this-is cold fusion the proper way to build
dynamimc
sites with regards to web standards?

Forgive me if this is to ot.
