Web duh-velopment

I'm not sure how this was considered to make sense, but marvel at this forced-upon snippet of web development with a capital Z:

Brilliant! Whichever side of the process you want to throw yourself on, it's just plain filthy.


  1. It assumes an XHTML document without an initial opening element for <body> is okay. No validator will love you -rightfully so.

  2. The scroll attribute is an "awesome" proprietary IE attribute. No matter which browser it is, vendor-specific crap like that needs to be absent.

  3. Three different ways to write an opening <body> just so IE won't produce a scroll bar on a fullscreen Flash site? Oh boy!

Wouldn't other browsers just ignore the scroll attribute?

In the same way that most people would ignore a turd in a punchbowl.

In the strictest sense of web development, you shouldn't go for vendor-specific markup.
