Using Dreamweaver8 to fix web standards

A total of 8 articles in this series, starting with the popular web standards, describes how to build a compliant web with the Dreamweaver 8来, as the original author of this article is for "build Your OWN Standards" compliant We Bsite Using Dreamweaver 8 (This article is a charge) excerpt, so I made the appropriate deletion of the content, the order is consistent with the original text, but the length will be adjusted, hereby inform. The level of translation is limited, please understand.

If you are reading this article, you are likely to have some interest in Web standards and are curious about the application of standards in sites built with DW (Dreamweaver).

You may have some knowledge of WS (WEB standards abbreviation), but you don't know how to write compatible code with DW. Or you're a DW user, you want to comply with WS, use CSS more extensively, and you can make more approachable documents. Regardless of your type, this article will give you the answer you want: tell you how to use DW to handle WS.

Definition of WEB standards

For the WS we care about throughout this article, let's take a moment to make clear what we're talking about:

WS is a specification that guides the Web development language and is developed by the consortium. These specifications include a variety of languages, such as HTML, XHTML, and CSS, as well as other relevant languages, such as MathML, used to represent equations in mathematics that might be useful when you have this particular need. The consortium has also issued a "Web content Affinity Guide" (Web contents Accessibility GUIDELINES--WCAG)--Promoting accessibility of Web pages (via WAI)

Hint: get these specifications directly

You can read these specifications on the website of the world's Web site, although they are sometimes difficult to read:

HTML 4.01

XHTML 1.0

CSS 1

CSS 2.1

WCAG 1.0

In this article, we will use the XHTML1.0, CSS1 and 2.1, WCAG 1.0, and other specifications and recommendations, but you must be pleased to know that we do not have to read too much of the document.

Who needs WS?

You may have only one vague concept: WS is a good thing, but many sites-including many well-known sites-do not comply with WS, and they do seem to manage well. So why do we try to comply with WS? Does this have any real benefit? Who needs WS? Who needs to pay attention to the norms and recommendations of the consortium?

Web Developers and designers

The first category of people who need to focus on WS is us: Web site developers and designers. Is it worthwhile for us to spend time learning how to use WS development?

Neat tags make bugs faster to fix.

If you validate your pages through the Web, at least you will learn that nonstandard markup is not the cause of the errors you've encountered. Sometimes, verifying a page and fixing a process that has found errors can clear the display of problems that are caused by the absence of a tag (element) or by a tag (tag) spelling error.

Even if validating your document does not fix these problems, at least you will know that these problems exist in the canonical document. Now that you know the problem is not a mistake, you can start to focus on other issues, such as CSS handling differences in different browsers.

The need to comply with accessibility is easy

If you write a canonical XHTML tag, you can guarantee that the document is semantically correct, and you can separate the content from the presentation, and you'll be able to put a lot of work on the accessibility issues listed in many WCAG1.0. It is also important to recognize that accessibility is not only designed for people with disabilities. A good affinity site can be accessed by many different devices, such as mobile phones and PDAs, who do not have the power to deal with scattered, non-standard tags.
