Going through source again....and I asked this not too long ago and,
pardon my rather short memory capability, but I forgot what we decided.
Basically, I'm looking for [a] rule[s] that says how HTML tags ought to
be written:
<H1 ALIGN="CENTER"...
<H1 ALIGN=CENTER...
<H1 ALIGN=center...
<H1 ALIGN="center"...
<h1 align=...
<...color="#FFFFFF"...>
<...color=#ffffff...>
???
Personally, I use HomeSite to write HTML, and it will, by default,
write *everything* in lowercase, and put quotes around the attributes.
I know some people don't care for the quotes. Some people write color
values in CAPS, some don't. And if I look at the code generated from
programs such as Adobe PageMill, Adobe ImageReady, Macromedia
Dreamweaver, HomeSite, etc., etc. (these are just those I have handy),
they all write things different.
So, has no one come up with a standard rule for this stuff?
(W3C???) Or are companies that make authoring programs (as well as the
browsers) just oblivious to these rules??
