About this page

Table Free icon This page was composed using XHTML 1.0 (strict) Markup. It is served, using Content Negotiation (via PHP on the Server side), as Media type application/xhtml+xml to XML compliant Browsers and as Media type text/html to MSIE Browsers. The character set is utf-8 (Unicode). The Markup is styled using CSS level 3. It also features RDF/XML for Dublin Core Metadata and RSS Feed generation. This is an XHTML 1.0 (strict) demonstration page. I personally write my regular web pages using HTML 4.01 (strict) Markup and serve them as content type text/html.

Serving of this Page

Following is a depiction of Media type for a representative selection of typical Graphical Browsers:

Web Content Accessibility (WCAG)

Although the W3C cautions against relying on automatic checking of pages for Accessibility, the (Free online) WAVE web accessibility evaluation tool provides an excellent way to check pages for such accessibility requirements as correct structure (H1-H6), alternate text for images, missing form labels, links without text ..... etc. Here are the WAVE check results for these pages. There is a provision to disable (and re-enable) styles so that you can see how pages render in screen readers and textual Browsers (substituting alternate text for images of course).

Page layout on this site

Much of the typewritten text content on the pages of this site is justified which, while producing a nicely balanced layout, results in occasional uneven white spacing between words.
