Most of us have a deep experience. Whenever we have upgraded the mainstream browser version, our new website may become too time, we need to upgrade or re-build a website. For example, 1996-1999 "Browser Wars", in order to be compatible with Netscape and IE, the website has to write different code for these two browsers. Similarly, whenever new network technology and interactive equipment, we also need to make a new version to support this new technology or new device, such as WAP technology that supports mobile Internet access. Similar questions: Website code is bloated, complicated to we waste our large bandwidth; for some browser's DHTML effect, some potential customers; unprystable code, disabled people can't browse the website, etc. This is a vicious circle and is a huge waste. How to solve these problems? People who have knowledge have already begun to think and need to establish a standard for universally identified standards to end this disorder and confusion. Commercial companies (Netscape, Microsoft, etc.) have finally recognized the benefits of unified standards, so under the organization of W3C (W3c.org), the website standard began to be established (the XML1.0 is released on February 10, 1998), and Promote the implementation of the website standard organization (WebStandards.org). Simply put, the purpose of the website standard is:
Provide maximum benefits to ensure that any website text can be easily effectively simplified for a long time, reducing construction costs to make the website easier to use, can adapt to more different users and more network equipment When the browser version is updated, or new When network interactive devices, make sure all applications can continue correctly. For website design and developers, follow the website standard is the standard; for your website users, the website standard is the best experience. The benefits of using the website standard for website viewers:
File download and page display speed faster; content can be accessed by users (including disabilities, weak, color-blown); content can be accessed by a wider device (including screen readers, handheld equipment, search Robots, printers, refrigerators, etc.) Users can choose to customize their own performance interface All pages can provide the benefits of the website owner:
Less code and components, easy to maintain bandwidth requirements decrease (less code is more concise), and cost reduction. For example: After Espn.com uses the CSS revision, save more than two megabytes. Easier is easier to search for the search engine for easy, no change page content provides printing version without the need to reproduce the content to improve the website. In the United States, there are strict legal provisions (Section 508) to constrain government websites to reach certain ease of use, and other countries have similar requirements.
