Hi everyone,

 

Am I missing something here?  I keep reading that the core DNN product is W3C compliant - that it is how you develop the application and what skins to use is where to be wary however, I have just installed a fresh DNN application (v4.9.0 - new one) and it fails on the W3C online tests for XHTML and CSS.  Only when I tinkered with the default.css did I managed to get it to pass the W3C online test for CSS.  I do not however, know how to get it to pass XHTML W3C online test.  Does anyone know what I need to do?  As W3C publishes standards that are global I would like to think that this is what all developers are striving for - not country specific compliance - this is so varied and would never therefore, be possible to have a truly globally compliant DNN application.

I blogged about this at http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Community/Blogs/tabid/825/BlogID/5/Default.aspx -we've been aiming for full compliance in 5.0(the skin in 4.9 was actually backported,along with some of the other widgets). As you note, there are many difference compliance measures, so we're working to validate against a number of the most common ones. At the moment for 5.0, we're testing for xhtml compliance, css compliance, ada-508 compliance and WCAG priority 1 so expect 5.0 to be a bit further along that 4.9.

Hi

 

Well then I weould also like to vote for better semantic use. So stop putting the link module in a table but allow for unordered lists or datalist. Much easier to style also

Discussions on enhancements of this nature have been discussed in the past.
