Have only recently started having a look at ATLAS and the
control toolkit. They both look very impressive although I am extremely disappointed
that yet again none of the web developers involved in these projects thought it
would be a good idea to stick to web standards.
Firstly the XML-Script causes validation issues but this is
understandable. However I have been
playing around with the accordion control which is really well done but why
were <div> elements put inside <span> elements. Divs are block level, spans are inline and
should not contain block level content it’s a really basic rule and I cant see
a good reason why it would have been developed like this. I was just wondering if future releases would
be taking web standards/XHTML strict conformance into account in future releases?
