PegasosPPC website? Genesi? : Comment 50 of 65ANN.lu
Posted by Olegil on 18-May-2003 19:17 GMT
In reply to Comment 38 (Kolbjørn Barmen):
I have to side with Kolla and nicomen here. And I've worked for Opera Software.

Of course, that makes me "biased", right? Yeah, thought so.

Anyway, if it doesn't follow the standards for HTML as set by W3C, it's not HTML. So what excactly is it? This page is a classic example of doing it from a bad textbook.

It starts out with:
<html>
<head>
<title>PegasosPPC.com - Welcome!</title>
<basefont face="verdana" size="2">
<style>
<!--
body { font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0px; }
td { font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; }
-->
</style>
</head>

So, it's using styles, but doesn't say what kind of styles. Is it CSS or something else? Also, it's being sent as mime-type text/html, but it's not defined as html in the actual file (no, starting with <html> isn't enough), and it's not set up as any specific version of html (presumably because it doesn't follow any standard, just picks elements randomly from the various html definitions?). And most importantly, it has no defined character set. This is dangerous.

Here's what W3C's own validator had to say about it:

"I was not able to extract a character encoding labeling from any of the valid sources for such information. Without encoding information it is impossible to validate the document. The sources I tried are:
The HTTP Content-Type field.
The XML Declaration.
The HTML "META" element.

And I even tried to autodetect it using the algorithm defined in Appendix F of the XML 1.0 Recommendation.

Since none of these sources yielded any usable information, I will not be able to validate this document. Sorry. Please make sure you specify the character encoding in use.

IANA maintains the list of official names for character sets. "

Wow. So basically, this document could render differently base on what character set the browser autodetects. Since the W3C autodetection doesn't work on this page, how do you figure the browser is gonna get it right?

I suggest tidying up some of these and try again. I'll even help if anyone bothers to ask. I have _some_ experience with html and css. I mean, I DO work with it for a living...
