Some people in ADG think about accessibility and standards as useless goals
and limitations for achieving a visual engaging website.
The link above proves they are completely wrong!
...I'm not sure I understand what you're saying...I'm not sure YOU
understand what you're saying. If you're claiming that it's W3C
compliant and therefore more accessible...well you're wrong on both
counts. W3C validation most certainly DOES NOT equate to cross
browser compatibility and actually, a lot of times conforming to W3C
specs will CAUSE compatibility issues, rather than solve them. And
you would be wrong on the other count in that several of his pages DO
NOT meet W3C RECOMMENDATIONS. Remember kids, the W3C only RECOMMENDS
standards, they do not ACTUALLY set standards. That last point can be
a REAL bitch for a lot of people to wrap their fat lil heads around.

That's very true, but accessibility doesn't equate to "cross browser
compatibility" either, and involves going an extra few yards on top of
adhering to standards:
Take a look at: http://www.w3.org/WAI/gettingstarted/Overview.html
Now, W3C compliance /would/ equate to cross-browser compatibility if the
bloody idiots that developed browsers had actually implemented the
reccommended specs.

That's not how the w3C and most industry professionals see the w3c's role or
its recommendations. In fact, the w3c states that their recommendations
precisely ARE standards.
"The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) is an international consortium where
Member organizations, a full-time staff, and the public work together to
develop Web standards. W3C's mission is:
"To lead the World Wide Web to its full potential by developing protocols
and guidelines that ensure long-term growth for the Web.
"W3C Develops Web Standards and Guidelines
"W3C primarily pursues its mission through the creation of Web standards and
guidelines. Since 1994, W3C has published more than ninety such standards,
called W3C Recommendations."
You may not agree with them that their recommendations are standards, but
you are just playing semantics then. This is considered by most
professionals to be the standards setting body for the web. That doesn't
mean you have to follow their standards, but regardless, they still set
standards that most of us look to when evaluating our own and others' work.
You can have your own Hatter standards, and follow them or not. You can
promulgate your standards and try and get others to adopt them if you wish.
The w3c has a considerable lead on you, and their standards are accepted by
most working professionals I know. But Hatter standards would still be
standards, even if no one else adopts them. Given your god like nature, I
expect they'd be higher standards than the w3c's, maybe even unattainable by
most of us.
You can even say that for you there are no standards. You don't have to
accept that standards apply for you and your work. No one can make you
adhere to those damn w3c tyrants' standards. But standards don't have to be
enforced to be standards, they don't even have to be adhered to to be
standards. They just have to be promulgated and recognized as standards. The
more who accept them, the merrier, and the more important those standards
become.
Your concept that because no browser follows the standards 100%, there are
no standards is badly flawed logically. There are plenty of standards that
are never lived up to 100% of the time. Adherence to a standard does not
create the standard just as adherence to the rules does not create the
rules. You can't argue that there is no speed limit because no one follows
it, if you get a ticket for speeding. You can't argue that their are no web
standards for coding in the face of web standard for coding promulgated by a
standard setting body. There are no penalties for not adhering to w3c
standards, but lack of adherence doesn't prevent them from being standareds.
Hell, the Graphic Arts Guild writes a variety of standards regarding payment
of designers, working conditions for designers, contracting standards for
designers, and these are broken or ignored regularly, maybe even more often
than not.. Many think these standards are wrong or outdated and lobby for
their change. They are still standards, recognized by many pros and upheld
as standards by many in the industry.
A standard is not a rule. It is exactly what the word indicates, i.e.
something to measure against. Or not measure against, if you so choose.
IMHO, I think you are confusing stadards, rules, and enforcement.

Um, actually yeah, it is.
>In fact, the w3c states that their recommendations precisely ARE standards.
<snip>
You're missing the point kiddo. Unless those RECOMMENDED standards
are ACTUALLY being used as standards...they're not standards. I don't
know, maybe you're a lil confused on what the definition of a
"standard" is. Here, let me help educate you:
http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=standards
"Something, such as a practice or a product, that is widely recognized
or employed, especially because of its excellence."
Now I suppose if you're arguing out of a corner (which you are) you
can try and quibble on which definition of "recognized" they're using
(I would tend to lean towards 6, where as I'm sure you would lean more
towards 2 no doubt):
http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=recognized
Your quibbling won't hold up too well if I bother to bring up the fact
that the W3C is comprised mostly of browser and other software
manufacturers and if they really WERE trying to achieve some global
set of definitive standards...well um, why aren't they following them?
See, they've got a bit of a catch 22 goin on in their reasoning. It's
a lil asinine to be going around recommending standards when you don't
even follow them yourself.
>"The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) is an international consortium where

You're confusing the development of standards with SETTING standards.
Anyone can develop "standards", but unless everyone ACTUALLY adheres
to them, they're only recommendations.
>You may not agree with them that their recommendations are standards, but
>you are just playing semantics then.
...actually, you're the one who is arguing semantics son...and you're
REALLY not doing a very good job of it either. I would suggest you
spend some time in Google and find all the people who are smarter than
you who have already tried to argue your failing position.
> "Something, such as a practice or a product, that is widely recognized
> or employed, especially because of its excellence."
Well, I guess that's something we'll never agree on, then. You don't see
that definintion as applying to the w3c's standards (their term , not mine),
I think it fits perfectly.
I suppose from your post that you are arguing that the w3c's standards
(their term, not mine) are not widely recognized, whether by definition #2
or definition #6 for recognized. I think that's as silly as the rest of what
follows.

That's funny. Of all the reasons I've heard in favor of writing or buying

I'm sorry but you are wrong.
Excerpt from the webstandards.org website - source:
http://webstandards.org/learn/faq/#p211
"What is the W3C?
The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) is an international industry consortium
dedicated to "leading the Web to its full potential". It's led by Tim
Berners-Lee, the inventor of the Web. Founded in 1994, the W3C has more than
450 member organizations - including Microsoft, America Online (parent
company of Netscape Communications), Apple Computer, Adobe, Macromedia, Sun
Microsystems, and a variety of other hardware and software manufacturers,
content providers, academic institutions, and telecommunications companies.
The Consortium is hosted by three research institutions - MIT in the US,
INRIA in Europe, and Keio University in Japan.
What does it do?
The W3C develops open specifications (de facto standards) to enhance the
interoperability of web-related products. W3C Recommendations are developed
by working groups consisting of Consortium members and invited experts.
Working groups obtain general consensus from companies and other
organizations involved in creating applications for the Web, and create
Working Drafts and Proposed Recommendations. These are then submitted to the
W3C membership and director, for formal approval as W3C Recommendations.
More information regarding this process and the review stages can be
obtained from the W3C website."

THERE ARE NO STANDARDS:
http://www.opera.com/docs/specs/
THERE ARE NO STANDARDS:
HTML 4.01
Opera version 8 supports HTML 4.01 with these exceptions:
Event attributes are not supported for the option element
The col width attribute does not support multilengths
The object standby and declare attributes are not supported.
The table cell attributes char and charoff are not supported.
THERE ARE NO STANDARDS:
XHTML 1.1 support
Opera version 8 supports XHTML 1.1 with these exceptions:
Event attributes are not supported for the option element
The col width attribute does not support multilengths
The object standby and declare attributes are not supported.
The table cell attributes char and charoff are not supported
Ruby annotations are not supported
THERE ARE NO STANDARDS:
CSS Level 2
Opera 8 supports all of CSS2 with the exception of:
These properties: font-size-adjust, font-stretch, marker-offset,
marks, and text-shadow,
The list style types cjk-ideographic, hebrew, hiragana,
hiragana-iroha, katakana, katakana-iroha.
These property/value combinations: "display: marker", "text-align:
<string>", "visibility: collapse".
Named pages (as described in section 13.3.2).
The "@font-face" construct.
The :lang() selector
THERE ARE NO STANDARDS:
When using the Opera browser, you may notice that SOME PAGES ARE
DISPLAYED DIFFERENTLY THAN IN OTHER BROWSERS. In MOST (not all) cases,
the differences are caused by errors in the pages that are being
displayed. Few Web pages are authored according to W3C's
SPECIFICATIONS WHICH OPERA SUPPORTS (they DO NOT support all of them,
you FUCKING MORON). Opera 8 has two rendering modes, Standards Mode
and Quirks Mode. For a full documentation on this, see separate
document.
The displayed color of an hr is set with the background-color CSS
property in Opera and Netscape 6+. In Netscape 4 and IE it is set with
the color property. Setting both properties to the desired color will
give the same result in all browsers. This will not give the intended
effect if content is added to hr with the content property, but
Netscape 4 and IE don't support this anyway.
The default style sheet in IE and Netscape gives the body element
margin: 8px, Opera uses padding: 8px. Padding is the margin between
the body element and the content, while margin is the margin between
the body and the html element (or the head element if visible). If
either margin or padding is explicitly set on body, the other property
should be set too.
The CSS improvements in IE6 are already implemented in Opera. This
means that IE6's display of web pages in standards-compliant mode is
much closer to Opera's web page display. For further information, see
the Microsoft documentation on IE6.

You realize, of course, or at least you should realize, that nothing that
you've spent all that time typing proves there are no standards. You've
proven that Opera, doesn't support the standards 100% in how it renders the
page a page. Congratulations. I knew that, too.
Hmmm, does any browser? I don't thnk so. Is that the only reason you can
come up with as to why you might want to code to a standard? Because no
browser supports the w3c standard 100% currently, you can come up with no
reason why you still might want to code to a standard? C'mon. Think....

Here's a little mental paradox for you, thanks to all your time spent
researching and typing that stuff you copied. Doesn't all that finely copied
text only kind of prove there is a standard, at least in producers of
Opera's mind? I mean, if they didn't think the w3c's standard for HTML 4.01
was an important standard, why would they feel it so critical to document
where they deviate from the standards?

Excerpt From http://www.opera.com/docs/ :
"Opera prides itself in supporting all major Web standards currently in use,
including CSS 2.1, XHTML 1.1, HTML 4.01, WML 2.0, ECMAScript, DOM 2 and SVG
1.1 tiny. "
Go to http://www.opera.com/docs/specs/ to read about some very few
exceptions.

All major modern browsers have DOCTYPE Switching. Gecko browsers toggle even
between three modes!

The color attribute is proprietary *IE 4 and above* therefore the CSS color
property takes effect only in Explorer browsers.
Many attributes for this element are deprecated:

No concerns here. Margin and padding are standard CSS properties accepted by
all major browsers.That's more than enough to render the body element of a
page in a consistent manner among different browsers.

text on a white background. ^_^
Fucking idiot that you are I'm sure that nasty lil reality hasn't

Not sporgery, Davide. That was me. I was copying Mr. Hatter's inimtitable
logical style. Your confusion points out how ridiculous the logic behind
Hatter's posts is. I'm sorry for the confusion, but I'm really pleased that
I hit Hatter's style so completely. I went out of my way to place no
substance at all in the post, just like his. I put together the post that
was all style and ad hominem attacks, and no substance. I understand your
confusion entirely. It was just like every Hatter post.

The only standard Flash adheres to is ECMA 262 *actionScript language*.
ECMA International is an european industry association for standardization.

This is getting a bit boring. Sorry, but I'm going to have to let Matt in
on the joke.
Matt, there's this whole /style/ of eastern art called Sumi-e. It's not
just that one book you found on Amazon.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sumi-e
Think of it a bit like manga, lots of artists all use a similar style, but
they're not really stealing it, it's kind of a "cultural convention". You
could even relate that sharing of style to the 'avant-garde' movements of
20th century art (expressionism, dada, cubism, surrealism, de Stijl,
pop-art, post-expressionism, whatever), but well, let's not be culturally
imperialistic by measuring eastern traditions with our own values.

LOL! Anybody want to guess how many hours it takes to read and respond to
that many posts? Now I didn't say respond intelligently, because that's
asking too much.
But in his case, you have to understand, they aren't just posts. He is
forging and evolving Usenet when he posts. They are Word Art, and someday
he'll be recognized as the Word Artist that he really is. Then all this is
going to start paying off for him big time. Then no one will be laughing at

Hatter Quotes
-------------
"I'm not a professional, I'm an artist."
"The more I learn the more I'm killing my idols."
"Is it wrong to incur and then use the hate ridden, vengeful stupidity
of complete strangers in random Usenet froups to further my art?"
"Freedom is only a concept, like race it's merely a social construct
that doesn't really exist outside of your ability to convince others
of its relevancy."
"Next time slow up a lil, then maybe you won't jump the gun and start
creamin yer panties before it's time to pop the champagne proper."
"Reality is directly proportionate to how creative you are."
"People are pretty fucking high on themselves if they think that
they're just born with a soul. *snicker*...yeah, like they're just
givin em out for free."
"Quible, quible said the Hare. Quite a lot of quibling...everywhere.
So the Hare took a long stare and decided at best, to leave the rest,
to their merry little mess."
"There's a difference between 'bad' and 'so earth shatteringly
horrible it makes the angels scream in terror as they violently rip
their heads off, their blood spraying into the faces of a thousand
sweet innocent horrified children, who will forever have the terrible
images burned into their tiny little minds'."
"How sad that you're such a poor judge of style that you can't even
properly gauge the artistic worth of your own efforts."
"Those who record history are those who control history."
"Is my .sig delimiter broken? Really? You're sure? Awww,
gee...that's too bad...for YOU!" `, )
...when did I EVER try and convince you that I was smart? I mean,
that would be like trying to teach a rock how to fly...sure you could
chuck the rock off a cliff and it would ~sorta~ fly...for about 7
seconds...then it would pretty much just fall, hit the ground and get
spattered into a million little dirt fragments.
This coming from the fucking fruitloop who replied TWICE to the SAME
message. By the by, Freddy Stupid, you probably shouldn't be ~too~
proud of your inability to keep up with me word wise...I mean maybe
you're just a slow typer...but then maybe you're just...well, slow.
D00d, the reason why your website looks like some long lost remnant of
1996 web coding...yeah, it's because you're actually DUMB ENOUGH to
think that there are standards when, huh, nope, nope, der sure ain't.

Yeah, you look pretty bothered to me.
Not the same thing, but you certainly can't have one without the
other. I think the problem here is that you're confusing
accessibility with usability. For example you can have a site that's
accessible to all but with such poor usability that no one will be
able to make use of what's on the site...but they'll all be able to
access it. Tres simple, non?
Do I look bothered :-) ?

Of course you can. You can easily achieve either without achieving the
other. Did you actually read:
http://www.w3.org/WAI/intro/accessibility.php
Seriously Matt, if you want training on modern web-development terminology
and practice (or art-history and visual culture for that matter), I'm happy
to oblige, but you've got to do your homework as well, you can't expect to

The problem here is that you /wish/ I was confusing them, then you could
move the subject away from the fact that you're still labouring under the
misconception that "cross-browser compatibility" and "accessibility" are
inextricable from each other.

IMHO, he doesn't stand a chance of reaching any level of recognition. For
all his bluster, like most of us, he'll pass unnoticed except by those that
he has created a positive realtionship with.
Or, to cite one of my favorite pop quotes from my genreration, "And in the
end, the love you take is equal to the love you make."

I certainly do Remember Julie London. Her version of "Cry Me a River" or "My
Funny Valentine" can still send shivers up my spine. (And by the way, I
don't mean Justin Timberlake's song Cry Me a River" for peole uner 40. How
the hell can he name a song "Cry Me a River." That's like writing a new song
and calling it the "Star Spangled Banner" or "Stardust" or a new book and
calling it "Moby Dick." Did he not know about the REAL "Cry Me a River" or
did he just not have a clue? Sorry personal rant at a low level pop
performer.)

I prefer either of those singers to Peggy Lee. She was never my favorite.

No, sorry. I can't afford it. But I will be thinking of you this year at the
Freihoffer Jazz Festival, June 24th and 25th, especially on the 25th when
there will be two of New Orleans finest acts there, Etta James and the
Preservation Hall Jazz Band.

Also, if anybody is in this area, and wants great jazz for free, the
Skidmore Jazz Institute (June 24th-July 8) has announced its "faculty" for
this year's Institute. The Institute always puts on a series of free
concerts in the evening, after the classroom sessions. Get there early,
things fill up fast. Here's this year's line-up:

Here's some of my photos from the 2004 Institute:

line-up announced yet.

Now that comparison is mean. I can't think of any animal on the planet that
deserves that insult.

Obviously you have no evidence, now you just admitted it.
I know it wasn't to me. But no animal would be pleased to be compared to
Hatter. Most animals generally show much more intelligence, self-control and
have an ability to learn.
