MP3.com is (almost) standards compliant!

May 24.2004

I’ve been waiting for over six months for MP3.com to come back online and was geeked to find out they’ve gone XHTML 1.0 Transitional with a CSS layout.

It’s not too bad, but… it still renders in quirks mode in Mozilla because they forgot the <meta> tag content type declaration 😮

Oh well. Looks good. One more convert… excellent.

@JonaMay 24.2004 — [font=arial]Awesome! I've seen a few articles at Builder.com that promote the use of CSS based design and accessibility - hopefully all of CNET's sites will head in that direction.[/font]

@PeOfEoMay 26.2004 — right now the code on www.download.com is almost stereotypical. www.lycos.co.uk went css a while back, that was one of the first major web hosts to go css i think, but they are still far from being standards compliant.

@PeOfEoMay 26.2004 — stopdesign redid blogger, didn't know that, big supprised, it is as valid as lycos :rolleyes: . But its a strict format and has fewer errors so I guess it is somewhat better. I do not think they did lycos, but they did do weird news, which is valid xhtml trans.

@Sux0rZh_jc0rzMay 27.2004 — stopdesign normally checks out their designs on like every browser they can. so even if it's invalid, it works for pretty much everybody and/or fails gracefully.
