Non-standards compliant website design précis

pubdate:2005-01-26

Often when trying to evangelize web standards I use a friend’s non-compliant website to offer a comparison in methodologies. Recently I came across a bookmarklet <http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/favelets/> that outlines deprecated or poor use of various HTML tags and tried it on his site. Josh <http://www.ejoshua.com/> is going to hate me for posting this screenshot, but I thought it was funny.

Everything outlined in red or green is an error.

That is awesome! I never did like the layout and ease-of-use of his website. But like so many in our industry and field, we never update our own websites. It’s a pitty, really. But that is definetly funny.

Fabulous! Simply fabulous! My site wasn’t nearly as interesting as Josh’s with the error checking css. ;)
