Web Standards

Web Standards. If  you are a geek it might appeal to you. Web Standards is important to everyone of us because we all use different platforms and/or browsers. Web Standards is the reference encoding(or I would rather say encoding). Sadly, only a few software and/or website developers understands it’s importance. Worse, they might not know about it! Check out most of the local (in the Philippines) banking websites/services, majority of them don’t comply to the standards! They recommend people to use Internet Explorer in order for them to fully maximize their online services, however some people use a different OS or web browser (I use Opera in my notebook :) I recommend using Opera). Also, some web browsers don’t comply to the standards either. Sheesh. I thought Firefox
users would have no problems reading my articles here on my blog. :) But, I was wrong. A friend told me that my article seemed to be corrupt when he is visiting my blog, I asked him, “What is your browser”, and he replied, “Mozilla Firefox”. Well, it is true that Firefox has an error rendering it. Check out the screenshot I am providing.
