Web Standards Design Wiki

 

The Web Standards Design wiki was created to provide a central clearinghouse of information on creating web standards compliant web pages. There are currently nine categories:

 

• Appropriate lists - Describes when an list item is and is not the right element to use
• Correct divs - Details how to use <div> elements in a web standard fashion
• Fitting tables - Explains why tables aren't the best choice for navigation and suggests alternatives
• Modern elements - Lists deprecated elements and attributes with better approaches for each
• Proper classes - Shows how to avoid "classitis" and other common misuses of CSS class selectors
• Proper IDs - Discusses when you should and shouldn't use an ID selector
• Structural integrity - Describes how best to work with heading elements, like <h1>
• Structural labeling -  Provides direction for naming classes: what to avoid and some alternative options
• True navigation - Offers alternatives to using tables for navigation

 

Currently, the wiki is being authored in collaboration by Jeffrey Zeldman and Joseph Lowery.
