Does anyone pay attention to standards?

Hi everyone,

Just out of curiosity I recently pointed one of my hand-typed pages at the W3
Validator, and my hand-typed code was just ripped to shreds. Then I pointed
some major sites (microsoft.com, cnn.com, etc.) at the W3 Validator; to my
surprise none of them passed.

Doesn't anyone care anymore, or are the standards more-or-less looked at as
guidlines for web design?

Not suggesting that at all. I am suggesting that if you stick to 100%

risk of disaster.

Again, as usual, your moronic drivel revolves around "either-or"
propositions.
Either it is standards compliant OR it breaks in browsers?
How about standards compliant AND not breaking in browsers? Nah, that'd be too much for your little brain to absorb.


Well then you are limiting what you can do arn't you? Some times
presentation matters, but your little brain can't understand that.


Again, here you go continuing your false dilemma by implying that standards
compliance limits the presentation.
Perhaps you're just not creative enough and knowledgeable enough to do
either properly?

nonsense...working to the medium is not limiting what you can do...it's
working to get the best out of the medium

attempting to impose techniques and processes from one medium on another
medium is not only limiting what you can do, it's likely to lead to
inferior results

you don't control the end result of a web design...so you've got to
operate in terms of the standards as the first stage of design...it's the
only way you can get a reasonable level of predictability that will be in
any way future proof...that doesn't mean not tweaking to deal with browser
bugs...but it's just plain dumb to start by dealing with current browser
bugs as the first stage of the process...you can't expect a print/games/TV
design process to work in a different medium

Without work arounds? Nope.

What about:
<object data="yourfile.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
width="320" height="240">
<param name="movie" value="yourfile.swf">
Nah, no Flash.
</object>


See http://www.alistapart.com/articles/flashsatay/ as to why that
doesn't work.

Now they offer a solution, but if you are a user of flash not a builder,
then the solution doesn't work. Also you have to have a container flash
object and all this other horse shit.

The embed tag is easy, and it works all the time with less code. It
just doesn't follow the standards. But all the browsers handle it
correctly.

Gee hard decision here. less work, works on everyone's machine, and no
container flash. So I am not standards compliant, it works everywhere.

And yea, I will have to go back and re-code someday. But since some of
you still code for nn4, I am not really worried about that. Not to
mention if my site hasn't been re-coded in that amount of time anyway,
I have bigger problems that just standards.

It does. Css is used for presentation. All CSS is not rendered the
same way on different browsers. So if you want to have your site look
the same on different browsers, then you have to limit the CSS that you
can use. (I think we agree on that point.)

Now, if CSS offers (say) 100 presentation features (yes there are more
but this if to keep the math easy for you), but I can not use 30 of them
because of browser compliance, I loose the presentation features these
offered? (I can't use them because they would display differently on
different browsers.)

So sticking to 100% compliant code, AND making it work on all browsers
limits your presentation, because you can not use all the features
available.

Well the basic premise we disagree on is if all web pages have to be
coded so every swinging dick in the world can see and use the site.
Some think that is true, others think you need to pay attention you the
people that actually use your site and see what they want.

You do realize that some people actually seek out flash sites, and multi
media presentations and games, and movies on the web right? And at the
same time, others seek out sites they can see on the phone browser. The
two types of sites can live in perfect harmony you know.

Following standards, and trying to make your site viewable to everyone
in the world, makes the first type of site impossible to build.

If you disagree, then show me any fortune 500 site the site that is
standards compliant.

wrong

because you are insisting that "working" equates to "looks identical"
something I don't believe that you can justify...certainly when I've asked
people who make that claim to justify it in the past the responses have
been incoherent rambling, abuse or no response at all

True. In some situations, it is not rendered at all.

Why on earth would you want that?

Only if you start with an absurd goal.
So sticking to 100% compliant code, AND making it work on all

Oops! non-sequitur. Just because it looks different to different uas

Hey, the world you talk about is all fantasy. Fortune 500 companies are
reality. If standards were so important then they would be doing it. Or
are you so pompous that you think that all the web developers in a
fortune 500 company are too stupid to know about standards, and only the
honored few in this newsgroup know the way....

Also, I don't believe I ever said that you should never code to
standards, or that you should not attempt to be in compliance. All I
say is that it is not THAT important in the long run. And until all
browsers work right, or Microsoft looses it's overwhelming market share
of browsers users, standards not real high on the importance list.

That's the part that came just before I wrote "Oops!..."
I said it would not look right.
Just to be clear, here's a fuller quote, reinserted from an earlier
message in this thread to which I was replying:
So sticking to 100% compliant code, AND making it work on all
browsers limits your presentation, because you can not use all the
features available.
But the point is not that it won't work on all browsers. It can easily
work on all browsers, that is, if your definition of work is
straitforward: the content is available in some form in all reasonably
conforming user-agents.
And sorry, presentation sometimes matters.
Since I never suggested otherwise, there's no need to apologize.
Thats all we disagree on.


We disagree on what it means for a web page to work. You are under the
impression that "work" means it must look the same in all browsers. I
don't know why that is important to you. I doubt it is important to many
visitors, since very few of them will take the time to compare your site
in 2 or more browsers.

You did. But curiously, you snipped that part of the message.


No, you changed the meaning to fit your argument thats all. you were

Only sometimes. You seem to believe that a page must work (be
accessible, standard compliant, Presentation is meaningless, etc...) on
every browser that shows up, all the time. I think each site and it's
goals and target audience must be evaluated before you can decide what
is best for the site.

Sigh...

Why is this "look the same" skeleton still rattling in the closet?

"Look the same" is an expression with zero, zilch, nada, nothing of
value to it, unless you are suggesting that a vast majority of web
surfers are always using a minimum of two browsers to look at every web
site they find interesting.

The real criteria to look at is...

1) Is my site presented acceptably good in browser A?
Is it fully usable in browser A?

2) Is my site presented acceptably good in browser B?
Is it fully usable in browser B?

If you can answer yes to the questions in 1) and 2) (and the same
questions for browsers C, D, E etc.) you can go tell your shrink that
you have finally been able to pass over your "look the same paranoia"
and that you are ready to move on to the next level of web design where
you will use every damned fancy feature you can find that is designed to
provide for a decent fall back in browsers where it can't be fully
understood.

Learn to follow good recommendations for how things on Internet are
supposed to work together, design your pages accordingly and be done
with it.

"Look the same" is NOT a primary criteria in that process.

You also, for some reason, keep repeating the lie that I claim that

Anyone who is more honest need only look at other messages in the thread

The www has evolved from those days where part of it is now a virtually
free public form, and place to advertise for companies. This is in
addition to a place get get information, and a place to do ecommerce,
and a place to search and a place for brucie's porn, bla bla bla...

It is all of those things. And not all types of sites need to be
accessible by every visitor. That is not discrimination.

Thanks for the warning so that I didn't waste my time. I don't use
flash or javascript and the quickest way to get me to leave a sie is to
tell me what I *need*. BS....
...*need* for that garbage, you can' create a site. It's the web, dammit,
not a TV screen complete with commercials.

See this is where we disagree. I think it is an important part of the
web.


You wan't to turn it into TV?!? Why not just watch the boob tube then?
Ahh you admit that you can do something other than searching for product
information. You are making progress.
I'm a big gamer. I don't use a browser interface for it though. If I
did, I'd want it to work in any browser with the settings that I choose.
And not all of the privacy invading technologies that I have to
download and install to "make it work." If you want to make a game, do
so. If you want to write something to be displayed in a browser, use
the standards so it is useable in any browser with any personal settings
requiring no changes.
They don't care about anything else, nor should the because the site
does exactly what it is supposed to.


I didn't look. What's it supposed to do? Drive people away?

Well, drive people like you away, the other 80 or 90% of the world gets
excited about the movie. But here is a clue, they already know that,
and guess what, they don't care.


That's part of my point. Too many businesses these days have a "there's
10 more fools/suckers like you just around the corner" attitude towards
customers/potential customers. I just mailed (US Postal) a long
complaint to a major company with attitudes like that. The web site and
their phone "services" were totally useless in doing what I wanted to
do. I let them know that if there were an acceptable choice, I'd no
longer do business with them at all. It's attitudes like yours that
perpetuate that kind of business. Like the rest of the sheep, you are
allowing business to do as they wish.
That is your opinion and you are welcome to it. But others enjoy stuff
like this, and here's another clue, they can use the web to if they
want. You don't own it.


I most certainly don't; with the exception of my little LAN portion of
it. But neither do the idiots that want to turn it into just another
idiot box like TV. I have the right to and will voice my opinion that
the garbage doesn't need to take over. We already have television for
the sheep masses. Must we allow this medium to be taken over by big
business too to serve yet more idiocy to the sheep masses? I think not.

I'm not saying that you can't have games, music, or flash, all the stuff
you seem to want a browser to do. Just don't *expect* it in a
technology that isn't designed for it. Write the application for that
stuff and I'm sure there is a market. The "web" isn't necessarily HTML,
it is just the machinery and wiring that connects us all together. Let
the HTML applications (browsers) view HTML. Come up with something else
for all the flash commercials or put them on TV.

What about:
<object data="yourfile.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
width="320" height="240">
<param name="movie" value="yourfile.swf">
Nah, no Flash.
</object>
See http://www.alistapart.com/articles/flashsatay/ as to why that
doesn't work.


Yes, I've read it and I've knew the solution even before.
Now they offer a solution, but if you are a user of flash not a builder,
then the solution doesn't work. Also you have to have a container flash
object and all this other horse shit.
If I'm a "user" I probably won't make sites with such wide Web impact.

And after all the above construct works in IE, it is that IE is
stupid enough not to stream the content - it is all its fault, go
complain Microsoft. Moreover the streaming probably doesn't matter
because almost all the Flash applets I've seen wait to load
completely, showing some kind of load progress indicator, before
starting.

Another moral of the story - use technologies appropriately. Flash
is useful mostly for animated banner ads and could be very useful
for specialized applets which implement real-time communication with
a server-app, for example. But what we currently see on the web is
mostly Flash-sh*t - Flash applets used for navigational links where
no alternative "simple" links provided, etc.
The embed tag is easy, and it works all the time with less code. It
just doesn't follow the standards. But all the browsers handle it
correctly.

Gee hard decision here. less work, works on everyone's machine, and no
container flash. So I am not standards compliant, it works everywhere.
That's the erroneous thinking you got here - what does mean
"everywhere", "all the browsers"? It is not standard and you've not
tried it with all the applications out there (you can't possibly
know all of them). So even if you've tested with possible enough
amount of different applications, currently - nothing guarantees it
would work with the next versions of those same applications.
And yea, I will have to go back and re-code someday. But since some of
you still code for nn4, I am not really worried about that.
Another erroneous thinking - I don't code for NN4. I code with
standards but if I really need some functionality working in NN4 I
use only this part which works in NN4 and I don't use NN4
proprietary stuff to make it work with it.
Not to
mention if my site hasn't been re-coded in that amount of time anyway,
I have bigger problems that just standards.

Not true all. We sell Flash components that companies plug into their
pages. Several hundred people (many form this forum) downloaded and use
the flash Jukebox I wrote. Many companies use swish with is a flash
compiler (for $49.00 from www.swishit.com) And quite a few don't see an
advantage when using the <embed> tag works great and on as many (or
more) than the standards work around. (It is not a solution, it is a
work around.)

Makes no difference if the blame is on Microsoft or anyone else. You
can sit there and whine all day long about how it is Mircosoft's fault
for their crappy browser, but since that crappy browser owns 80%+ of the
browser world, bitching about it does nothing. Dealing with it does.

I always say that. The problem is different people have different
levels of what appropriate means.

I totally agree (well, you still have a limited view on what flash can
do but that is irrelevant to the topic). But it is not the fault of the
technology that people make shit out if it. People can make a shitty web
site that follow all the standards. So are the standards bad because
someone can abuse it?
Gee hard decision here. less work, works on everyone's machine, and no
container flash. So I am not standards compliant, it works everywhere.

Because it is not a work around that requires additional effort to make

As soon as a browser stops supporting the embed tag, I will change. It
will be a touch one to replace 3 lines of code, but I think we will be
able to do it. And I can blame it on the browser for stopping support o
the tag, and charge everyone to update their sites! Money maker all the

that is no one's business but mine. I'm not giving permission for

that you and so many businesses seem to like so much allow that. I

That's exactly what I do. I ofen find something that I would like to
purchase but find that I cannot on line due to my privacy settings.
Sometimes I will just leave the site and forget about it, other times I
will email them that they have lost a customer, and still other times I
will call to order making it clear that it is a hassle and I'd rather
use their on line ordering if they would just fix it. It mostly depends
on how badly I want or need the item. Then sometimes, my mood comes

there are too many sheep willing to go along with anything not realizing
what affect it has on the industry. I'm afraid that my complaints don't

Even if technology makes broadcasts available to webpages, it still won't be
used. Other protocols will do it better than HTTP: and trying to mix them
will just cause more headaches than it's worth.

And the reason that gaming sites don't use web interfaces is the same reason
that TV won't show up on the web in any major way. Specific clients and

That argument holds no water. If a future standard deprecates or
eliminates an element or attribute that you rely on you simply don't use
that future standard and stick with the current one.


Then the same rule be applied to the <embed> tag right?


Yes. Except there is no current HTML standard that allows its use.

Yea, but is a plus for my argument. If you stick to standards, you
can't make it work on your visitors computers without a work around of
some sort. When the non standard solution is supported by virtually
every browser.
