Building ASP.NET 2.0 Web Sites Using Web Standards : Stephen Walther

Sunday, June 29 2008

Microsoft ASP.NET 2.0 has many features to help you design and build Web sites that are compliant with XHTML and accessibility standards. This article looks at how and why you should be building these standards-compliant sites. Web standards enable you to build Web sites that are accessible to the broadest possible audience with the least amount of work. The promise of Web standards is that you can design a page once and have the page appear and function in exactly the same way in any modern browser. For example, when built against standards, a page that was designed to display a certain way in Microsoft Internet Explorer can appear the same way in other browsers, such as Mozilla Firefox, Netscape Navigator, Opera, Camino, and Safari, without requiring you to perform any additional work. An additional benefit of Web standards is that they make your Web sites more easily accessible to persons with disabilities. This is a broad audience that includes everyone from a middle-aged person with failing eyesight, to a person who just broke his or her arm while skiing, to a person who is completely blind. Standards prevent you from unintentionally blocking persons with temporary or permanent disabilities from your Web pages.
