Valid XHTML my arse

Saturday September 17, 2005 @ 06:22 PM (PDT)

Just about every damn weblog on the Intertron these days has a stupid button, link, icon, or other doodad proclaiming that the site is XHTML or CSS compliant. Many weblog applications actually include these doodads in their default themes, and a surprising number of those default themes don’t even validate. Next time you notice one of these buttons, click on it and see if the site actually validates. Chances are it doesn’t.

Someday I’d like to put together a database of websites that claim to be compliant but actually aren’t. That’d be fun.

Don't type anything here unless you're an evil robot:


And especially don't type anything here:

Basic XHTML (including links) is allowed, just don't try anything fishy. Your comment will be auto-formatted unless you use your own <p> tags for formatting. You're also welcome to use Textile.
