xhtml compliant

Well I finally got my project site xhtml transitional compliant. Since I am adding another page to it – I have to alter the templates. Since I was doing that (and I would eventually have to make the site compliant) I figured I might as well get it over with. So the CSS went through a complete rewrite and the templates were altered to account for it. Note the ease of the change in presentation while not touching the logic. Pretty cool. Smarty just proved how good it is.

Learned alot about CSS – though not as much as I would have liked. Discussed with the guys (well faw actually) the merits of going tableless and following xhtml strict, but I really just don’t have the time to learn and code it. For now just being compliant is enough – after all as far as I know I am the only one on my team who is trying to be. Only have 2 test browsers (IE and Mozilla) so hoping the compliance will help with cross-browser compatability.

Found it interesting that it is normally a 3 person job to create a project like this. Another one of the guys on phpc noted that in his company they has three people doing what I am (the graphics artist, the designer, and the developer). Now granted I know I don’t do as good a job as those 3 would – but it was humorous that my company pays 1 to do the same thing.
