W3C (discovering fire, the wheel and walking upright)

Since I have become more familiar with the importance of w3c compliances, css and <div> tags, I suddenly feel as though I have been living in the dark ages, scavaging raw meat, crawling on all fours, living in caves, dragging my women around by her hair.

Now, every site that I'm directed to, I secretly go to W3C to check errors.

Like man discovering the possibilities of the wheel, my thoughts are running wild like the first time I loaded my 2 wheel wagon with stone and wood. I'm discovering new possibilities, new ways of doing things, the future suddenly looks clearer and more secure.

Then reality hits me, Were have I been? How can I ever live with the fact I used tables and design pages with multitudes of errors? How can I ever face past clients knowing I designed a sub-par website? How can I explain the importance of w3C standards to a new clients? The agony!

Now, it's time... I must strive forward with the embarrassing truth of my past shortcomings and spread fire throughout the lands! I must share the fire and wheel with other man! I must tell everyone .... ... no wait... I must keep this a secret? I dare not tell anyone my new found secret! The power of the wheel and fire may corrupt the lands! I shall be the leader and all powerful ruling king of man. I shall be the leader of the land

yes... yes... muuuuhahahhaha!!


Well... maybe not that extreme but none the less. I would advise anyone still using tables in to discover the importance of separating documentation from design with w3c standards xhtml and css.

Many thanks to these forums for answering questions and being here to shed light on this topic.

Thank You!

You don't even have to do that. Get the HTML Tidy extension for Firefox and it will show you every warning and error in the code in a separate window.

You want to 'spread the word' ? Consider signing up for the Web Standards Project new StreetTeam: http://www.webstandards.org/2007/03/12/wasp-needs-you/

I signed up this morning.

WASP is hardly just another 'web standards site'.. and their goal is to help pull web designers, design firms, etc. OUT of the dark ages.. just like we try to do here with the newbies. I'm with you.. so many people here need help.. you aint' gettin' rid of me that easily !!
