We (W3C) have been discussing this issue. The mobile checker is an implementation of the mobileOK Basic Tests [1] which is the machine testable subset of the Mobile Web Best Practices [2]. As long as that is true we have: - a checker rooted firmly in a specification - which is a good thing; - a checker that is growing old and, as is obvious, increasingly out of date - which is a bad thing. If we were to update the checker to, for example, cover HTML5 or any other technology (CSS3, SVG or whatever) then how would we root that in a spec? It becomes a dynamic system without a reference point. Now - since a lot of work went in to the checker (and the specs behind it) and it's a potentially useful tool, we don't want to lose it. However, we would need some sort of community effort to determine what the checker would check. There's also an issue of cost - maintaining the validation suite means writing new code. For now, I think we can say that the mobileOK checker is a useful guide. A lot of the best practices are still entirely valid. Taken with the Mobile Web Applications Best Practices [3] they form good advice to any mobile developer. However, it does need some interpretation - which is a pity. For example, the checker will warn you if you don't use the application/xhtml+xml MIME type. If you're coding in HTML5 that's simply wrong and I haven't seen an instance where there's an advantage in using the XHTML MIME type. The checker will scream at you if you don't include cache control or image dimensions - those are very much right! > >> What about media queries... Is the mobile checker suitable for if >> you are creating one set of htmls code and for mulitple devices? > > No. I'd say not yet. What we need is the mechanism for how to manage change and how to effect change in the checker. Keep nagging us - that might help us get it higher on the agenda.

Thanks, I love the more graphical layout and organization putting critical issues on top. The checker told me a number of very useful things like my page size is too large, not to use event handlers.... I went and found a wai-aria model that I think will work instead..

There's a half-made plan to use the same design for the main validator but it's a big job. [..] > I have been moving image sizing to the style sheet and not left inline.. NNooooo!!! That's one thing that the mobile checker is definitely good for - stopping this bad practice of using CSS to define the size of an image and, even worse, using CSS to resize the image.

Frankly I am not surprised. All those tools you mention are made mostly anyway for graphic designers and front end developers. In other words they are all visual tools that are designed for making visual presentations. You should not need to use any of them for web development. ************************************************************** Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org ************************************************************** ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org *******************************************************************
