You’re a standardista if you’ve ever finished designing a fully semantic website and then spent endless hours trying to do it with fewer div / span tags.

You’re a standardista if you can’t conceive of there being anything oppressive about standards.

You’re a standardista if you go about telling published authors how to write books based on your having made a web page.

Say you’ve composed a bullet point list of what’s wrong with the code on someone’s site and then stopped short of sending it.. does that count?

does that count?

The fact you started writing it makes it count, I guess. :)

I have to admit I’ve sent a few emails to a webmasters informing them of validation errors, and atleast 10-20 times a week I’m thinking of “I could make that with divs” :D

How about if you found a site made completely of sliced images (literally! except for the address on the “about” page), googled their organization name in quotes, and thought HA!! when they were waay down the list :-)

You probably wouldn’t of had the validation error you claim was intentional, if you hadn’t posted this on the “unlucky” Friday, the thirteenth!

As soon as I correct that improperly closed nested list item we’ll step outside and settle this like men! ;)

You’re a standardista if your kid uses color on a separate sheet of paper whilst drawing.

There are actually three validation errors, not one.

Line 70 column 101: there is no attribute “alt”.

Line 556 column 14: document type does not allow element “label” here; missing one of “p”, “h1″, “h2″, “h3″, “h4″, “h5″, “h6″, “div”, “pre”, “address”, “fieldset”, “ins”, “del” start-tag.

Line 557 column 70: document type does not allow element “input” here; missing one of “p”, “h1″, “h2″, “h3″, “h4″, “h5″, “h6″, “div”, “pre”, “address”, “fieldset”, “ins”, “del” start-tag.

Thanks Brandon. The other two have crept in this week. I’ll get them fixed when I next update. Cheers for informing me, mate.
