Gowator Posted June 24, 2004 Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 I think so, but you can test it at W3W ... it makes a report for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkelve Posted June 24, 2004 Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 (edited) Just one question, does Dreamweaver produce W3C standard compliant page? Update: Here's an article on Browser Wars 2004: http://linuxtoday.com/infrastructure/2004062303326OPDTSW Not 100% I guess, but very close. Dreamweaver MX made an enormous jump when it comes to producing standards compliant code. Of all the WYSIWIG ones, it's the one that produces the best compliant code with the least clutter, IMHO. You might want to check the page with "Html Tidy" afterwards to file off the rough edges. There might already be extensions for that though. And yes, at times W3C standards don't make much sense. But in most cases they do. As I have said before, the best thing that could happen to (standards based) web design is a tool which would make use of CSS for presentation and a kind of 'text editor' to structure and input the content. Styles can be defined in the editor and are written to an external stylesheet afterwards. The programs that come closest to this are 'StyleMaster' and 'Layout Master' from WestCiv (for Windows and Mac). Nvu is promising as well, but they insist on using inline styles, which adds considerably to filesize and complexity and limits reusability of the defined styles. I just wish they would have used an external stylesheet to write their rules to. This way, anybody could make a professional webpage because designing one becomes just as easy as DTP (desktop Publishing). Oh yeah, you can use http://validator.w3.org/ to test your page or download Html Tidy in one form or another. It's available for Linux too. Oh, and this link is interesting to, describes all the bugs IE has when it comes to web standards: http://www.positioniseverything.net/ie-primer.html Edited June 24, 2004 by Darkelve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
