A CMS that validates to xHTML Strict is the highest-quality of all, though these are currently rare.
Another thing to bear in mind is that the core application may well output perfect code, but low-quality templates or modules can easily wreck it.

If I was to form a simplistic analogy from those two statements, my sons room comes to my mind. If he only kept thing put in the right place in a neat and orderly way. He would have a much easier time finding things when he needs them. He would more easy spot that his play station has come unplugged.... etc etc
Trying to marry the main web site with the forum has obviously presented its own challenges IE: the log on and off issues. Understanding those issues are well out my league but as a thinker I have to reason that the code has to be clean and in compliance with some standard from which all browsers have the ability to interpret as well as interact with the website correctly.
As mentioned there is a set of code standards:
Quote:
xHTML Strict
HTML Strict
xHTML Loose (aka Transitional)
HTML Loose (Transitional)
|
xHTML and HTML
Basically Two types. To me this seems to be a problem in itself.
Who makes these standards? Is there an agreed upon global standard?
Sort of like a open source that provides the blueprint for these standards? IE: (Firefox) for example.
If I was to use netobjects fusion9 to rebuild my site. Could I not go back over it and fix any coding issues by using
http://www.w3.org/ ?
One more question. by using strict adherence to coding standards would this also make my site more secure?
