Your DOCTYPE is Showing: Where Do We Stand in the Battle for Web Standards? (Part III)
Plaster Student Union Ballroom
The Web Standards Project began in 1998 with the noble goal of “promoting core Web standards and encouraging browser makers to do the same, thereby ensuring simple, affordable access for all.” At HighEdWeb 2006, I reviewed over 1,000 websites to see where higher education stood when it comes to adopting and adhering to Web standards. In 2007, I reviewed these sites again: higher ed sites had made (small) gains in adhering to Web standards, while sites for Fortune 500 companies slipped even further behind. How have things changed in 2008? And are we better or worse on this front than the corporate world?
