in the april 20th issue of informationweek there is an article about standards. the title of the article is "standards matter - we all want interoperability, but are you willing to take vendors to task for breaking faith?". it was a good industry-wide account of the standards problem. web designers got a paragraph and i thought i would share it with the list.
"another high-profile standards failure is browser support for html and cascading style sheets. designers who don't know -- or don't care -- about the implications of proprietary extensions to html spew out web sites that work only in internet explorer for windows." i hope that this article gains some serious thought in upper, middle and lower management to insist on industry standards so that in our neck of the woods, the web will become a nicer place to navigate. we all know that browser manufacturers are trying to keep up with the latest developments, but it's the folks in the trenches, like us doing the work, that need the guidance into a better more compliant internet experience. just my $0.02. cheers, dwain -- "Fear of the devil is one way of doubting God.
