Weblog Entry
Validation Through Validating
April 14, 2003It says a lot about CSS–based design when you run your first check on a complete draft, and it comes out as valid XHTML, CSS, and hits Section 508 accessibility guidelines without any changes needed. It’s also rather gratifying when only a few slight revisions are needed to get a triple–A from Bobby.
It is, however, a pain in the ass that adding a simple link to an accessibility validator will break your XHTML. I find it excessively picky that “url=myurl&content=” can’t simply be copied and pasted into an href. Instead you must re–format that to “url=myurl&content=”.
Tell me about it. This is one of those cases where I often times acknowlege that it doesn’t validate and try (keyword here) to move on. I usually last about 10 minutes before I get in there and fix the damn thing.
Cascading Style Sheets
Or How I Stopped Worrying And Love Web Development
Yep, there’s a lot about XHTML that’s a pain in the ass… sticking to valid code is currently very difficult for anything more complicated than a weblog.
One day all this will be worth it!
