Web Designers

From LBwiki

Definition

A Web Designer is someone who can manage the html, css and javascript for the FOSS.in (http://foss.in/) website. You'd ideally be able to build a page that follows the HTML 4.01 strict DOCTYPE: 

  <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">

and be able to get our pages (http://validator.w3.org/) and CSS (http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/) validated at the W3C. Javascript is not essential, but an understanding of Semantic Markup (http://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/200x/2003/04/09/SemanticMarkup) would be good.

FAQ

  1. Why not HTML 4.01 Transitional?
    • The Transitional DOCTYPE is for people who are transitioning their sites from HTML 3.02 to HTML 4. Strict is recommended for all new sites.
  2. Why not XHTML?
    • Issues with the content type that needs to be sent out - not all browsers like application/xml+xhtml
    • Not all browsers correctly support XHTML
    • The effort required to make pages conform to XHTML is not worth the lack of any gains beyond HTML 4.01
  3. Why does the page and CSS need to validate?
    • Open standards you see. Makes the web a nice place for everyone.
