W3 Standers?

[ZakRhyno]

Does IPS make sure that there products are up to part with the coding so that they pass W3 PHP/CCS/HTML/XHTML standers? Just looking up the main community page I find 20 Errors, 17 warning(s). I ask cause web browser try to keep up with the main flow of the code.

There is no W3 PHP validation.

We do not strive for CSS validation, because it means we can't use a lot of the functionality available presently (i.e. -moz-border-radius is not technically a valid tag, but that doesn't mean it doesn't work in Firefox).

We have previously validated an out of the box default installation of IP.Board as W3C XHTML valid, however as soon as you start adding content and hooks and so on, it quickly breaks. It's not something we lose sleep over, however we do have an open bug report on W3C validation that we routinely revisit to touch up areas that are feasible and not invasive to fix.

Cool, thanks for the quick reply.

Err.. Why do you use Strict? With Transitional you'll get less errors.

Let's change the question...at the end of the day, does the DOCTYPE we declare or any of the validation issues you may encounter in an stock IP.Board installation affect your site in any way?
