The acid 3 test is a test of browsers support for certain standards and as far I can tell unrelated to the standards compliant html/css being referred to in the job ad. I however tend to agree. Standards compliant html/css is another way of saying html/css that is valid and doesn't violate currently accepted standards on the web. You can use valid html/css and purely markup up the data with html and display that data how you want with css, and still go for a pixel for pixel reproduction of a mockup. True it is easier to to with tables, but it can done with CSS.
If standards compliant also meant accessible, then I think it would be a pretty ridiculous statement since the idea of accessibility is to allow the user agent to determine how to best provide the information to the user, for example with big font sizes. However, I think standards compliant doesn't implicitly also mean accessible. </my 2 cents> 2009/8/23 Bushidodeep <field.ni...@gmail.com> > F, > > As in the case of clients that rigidly adhere to the notion of pixel > perfection, > the design usually spirals into perfection on a single user-agent, with > complete > disregard of the possible thousands in circulation. > > The jobs description just seemed one to avoid. > > > C > > > > > > On Aug 22, 2009, at 2:43 PM, Felix Miata wrote: > > On 2009/08/23 00:02 (GMT+0300) Rimantas Liubertas composed: >> >> ...in most cases this requirement does not make any >>> sense.
