    LOL it is almost funny

    (PPN is about 90% compliant - blame newspro) I agree webbies SHOULD code to standards as it will only help all of us in the long run. Since a lot of GOOD webmasters are born in the fansite realm, it needs to start here on your first site.. not be something you do later on (and never get to cause ur lazy)

    The document located at <https://pokeleague.net/> was checked and found to be valid -//W3C//ELEMENTS XHTML 1.1 Inline Frame Element 1.0//EN. This means that the resource in question identified itself as "-//W3C//ELEMENTS XHTML 1.1 Inline Frame Element 1.0//EN" and that we successfully performed a formal validation using an SGML or XML Parser (depending on the markup language used).

    My site is completly XHTML and CSS compliant. I feel good about that I can put those two images on my site. :D And yes, I agree that all webmasters should make their website XHTML compliant so it will work on all browsers. Webmasters should get out of the habit of coding for only one browser like IE, FF, etc. It's really all Microsoft's fault for creating non-compliant code during the browser wars.
     
    Sure, sure, boast about your new mobile. >_> I know you're using heaps of credit up on it, you really shouldn't. But fine, I'll update TPP to be compliant... take me ages though :P
     
    SK: I''m not surprised that PPN didn't load.. It's home page is a bit big when you load in the images and whatnot. then again it's not designed for mobiles.

    PPN used to have a mobile ver as did PPN Hosting, but I lost (deleted in the hard drive crash of 2004) my mobile web creation application.. Maybe one day i'll hunt one down and redo selected pages for mobiles. untill then reralize that most pages are designed with a true internet (i.e. a computer) user in mind, not the casual phone surfer (remember phones have VERY small screens)..

    Oh yeah, PokeFor's site is UGLY - technically good, but not very visually appealing.

    Like yay, it's Mudkip spam.

    Hey, any other webmasters want to get together and create a new Pok?mon site targeted purely at mobiles, with very few graphics to save bandwidth/money and pages formatted for mobiles with XHTML compliancy? I'm ready if you are.
     
    Well, I'm going to go set up a forum for this new project. Just call it "Pok?mon Mobile" for now I think. Anyone who wants in, PM me and I'll send a link.
     
    my pokemon 3d site is fully xhtml compliant seeing as the original template came from open source webdesign (rules strictly state the templates have to be xhtml and css compliant to be submitted). wouldnt mind if someone checked it out on a mobile albeit i doubt it would come up well with the large logo.
     
    All of the pages I've coded (the PPNDex and the pokeleague contest for example) are XHTML 1.1 compliant.

    However, just as a note, I don't find all "standards" to be particularly smart or useful. Plus, the setting of "standards" is a bit arbitrary and sometimes silly. The W3C often seems to go against reason and logic just to go against Microsoft, even when Microsoft makes more sense (in reference to the W3C's retarded box model.)
     
    When I first started my site, I barely even knew what a browser was, let alone XHTML or anything. As long as everything somewhat functioned in IE, I was happy.

    Now, my site grew a lot before I first learned about web standards, and I was always too lazy to go back and correct everything. I corrected my CSS to work in other browsers, admittedly not particularly caring to make it valid, though. Later I randomly decided to go and validate my CSS and the whole site as HTML 4.01, which I did apart from a few pages which I couldn't have validated because they contained something technically invalid. Going ahead to XHTML seemed too extreme because there are over 100 pages in the site and correcting the HTML in them all just to be valid HTML 4.01 is one hell of a lot of work even if I don't start self-closing all those tags too. (I will eventually, of course; I just haven't bothered yet.)

    Right now I'm working on a Pok?dex project with my boyfriend, and because we started it completely from scratch, I could go ahead and make it fully valid XHTML 1.1 (and valid CSS too, of course). You're welcome to try out the project's preview located at https://www.dragonflycave.com/butterfree/pokedex if you like.

    How is it not visually appealing? The layout, rather than being fancy and image-loaded, is neat and clean. I'd prefer a nice plain layout over something way image-heavy any day...
