Hey. I ALWAYS wear a balaclava when I do suspicious coding and hacking. ALWAYS. How else will people who happen to look in the window know that I am hacking and not just programming for class or something? :lol:

Oh no! Hackers! I hope none of them steal my virtual "big bag with a dollar sign on it!" Or, God forbid, take my WoW toon hostage. ("Do as I tells ya or the gnome gets it!")

Well, I do generally involve masks and gloves in most of my online activities but I'm not sure how I would handle hacking/coding.

Yes, that is extremely Strongbad-like. Almost to the point of parody.

Really, though? You didn't look at that and say, "Haha, yeah, that's a hoax." when you first read it? It's just a funny practical joke. That so many people even entertained the idea that it might ever be real makes my head hurt.

I'd like to think the real McDonald's would be able to spring for a better quality tape than masking tape. Scotch at the very least.

So I'm trying to W3C validate a "webpage." It's a off-line web-page that I use as the standard home page so that if I'm off-line, I get none of those "we can't find any internet connection" browser errors. After a couple of hours, I finally get the page validated, and I add in a link to the validation page. I make some changes after I successfully validate the page, so I check again, just to be sure. I get this warning:
Code: Select all
NET-enabling start-tag requires SHORTTAG YES [HTML 4.01 Transitional]

It points to the <p> tag that I had copied and pasted from...the W3C's validation "valid icon" page. W3C's own valid icon code violates its own standards.

My cat isn't this finicky.

You're using HTML 4.01 Transitional, really?…

For any new page you should just be dropping a HTML5 doctype
Code: Select all
<!DOCTYPE html>
unless you know of a very good reason not to.

Edit:
Just tested with Ponies.
HTML 4.01 Transitional or Strict shows the warning; HTML 5 doesn't.

I was because W3C doesn't quite have a HTML5 standard officially out yet. It's there, but apparently there's still much debating about it. Plus many of the features don't work well with all browsers yet. And like I said this is for a web page that I only get to see. But I'll see if Dreamweaver can make it work, I didn't see it among the options the first time around.

It's more like the CSS 3 standard it that parts of it are usable now, other parts are nearly there, and some may never make it. That the whole standard is no final is not a "very good reason."

Neither is not using any of the new features, at the very least HTML5 far more strictly defines parsing and error handling — as browsers move toward implementing a HTML5 engine (I know Opera has one, apparently Gecko and WebKit both have implementations now too) It'll become ever easier to have consistent results across browsers in both layout and DOM. Validating against anything other than HTML5 only means getting left behind even if it's only a local landing page (you validated it, so clearly you care a little. :P)

That's a site you frequent? The ads on it are atrocious.
