I didn’t know that was called the “Trinity of Web Standards.” I just read about it in DOM scripting and found it was easier to code that way on top of all the nice forward-looking stuff. A lot of these questions could be answered by looking at a portfolio’s source code. I’m not sure what being a great CSS developer has to do with WASP or the acid test. Just hating IE without looking for evidence or support for why should be good enough.

OK, it didn’t like the my pseudo regex there, but I was suggesting who -> how.

I like how

“What related blogs or websites to you read?”

is in each category. Give them plenty of chances to mention pixelbox :)

also: “Who should you re-direct traffic from http://pixelbox.net to http://www.pixelbox.net ?”

Good question Chris, but then what’s the correct answer?

How about:

Your work will come under scrutiny from the people who are paying you but who do not necessarily understand any of the above questions, let alone the relevance of the answers.

Are you prepared to ignore that purist voice in your head and hack, chop and spooge until your best laid plans are in tatters just to get the nod and get a project out the door?
