Standards, XHTML, and CSS
Related Categories: Standards
I've recently been attempting to learn more about web standards and moving away from things like using tables for layout purposes and the dreaded font tag. In the process I've collected a couple of resources that are a great read on the subject. I thought I would share them for others currently heading down this same path.
CSS Zen Garden - Great example of applying different CSS style sheets to a single XHTML 1.0 Strict document to achieve ~100 *completely* different looks.
Position is Everything - Articles, tutorials, and links on CSS, the Box Model, browsers quirks, and more.
MACCAWS - Making A Commercial Case for Adopting Web Standards. MACCAWS core mission is "To provide Web authors with the resources necessary to promote Web standards as a commercially desirable choice for clients." (via David Foltz on WebSanDiego)
The catch is though, you have to pretty much make sure all metric based values have a "px" (Or whatever you wish) and you can't rely on percentages for the body in that you'll have to put something like body { height: 100%; width: 100%} and so on, so that you can fill your screen.
Took me a bit to find lots of the XHTML hidden secrets but I have tonnes so any questions etc feel free to shoot some by me as i plan to to people like yourself :)
