It is an enormous project, covering not simply the structure of HTML, but also parsing models, error-handling models, the DOM, algorithms for resource fetching, media content, 2D drawing, data templating, security models, page loading models, client-side data storage, and more. There are also revisions to the structure, syntax, and semantics of HTML. http://tc.eserver.org/27637.html http://tc.eserver.org/27637.html As a client or manager responsible for a web development project you don't need to know anything about how a standards based web site is created. However you do need to know that your project is addressing these five important issues. http://tc.eserver.org/27636.html http://tc.eserver.org/27636.html Clarifies exactly what XHTML is, explains why you need to be learning about it from today, and steps through the process of transitioning to the standards based way of marking up for the web, and beyond. http://tc.eserver.org/27638.html http://tc.eserver.org/27638.html Westciv's John Allsopp sees a potentially bleak future for the dream that was web standards. Microsoft have overwhelming dominence of the browser playing field, despite brave efforts by Opera and Mozilla. They also have no intention to upgrade IE 6 until the release of Longhorn in 2006. So what is the point in innovating with new and exciting features in CSS and xhtml when no browser will support them? The only source of hope is that the gap left by Microsoft's development road map leaves room for a brave or foolish player to step in. http://tc.eserver.org/27634.html http://tc.eserver.org/27634.html Takes a good hard look at just exactly how major Australian sites are developed, and how well (or otherwise) they adhere to best practices.
