Hi, I have conducted a research on roughly a million web pages, looking for answers to questions like:
* How many pages make use of CSS / JavaScript / ... ? * How are the main web-technologies used? (which html elements, which CSS properties, ...) * How correct is the code that is used? (Valid HTML? Valid CSS2? application/xhtml+xml for XHTML?) The whole 120-page document about this research is only available in estonian, but I have put together a shorter version in english, which mostly consentrates on the results (but is still quite long read): http://www.triin.net/2006/06/12/Coding_practices_of_web_pages As Google did it's Web Authoring Statistics at the beginning of the year, I don't have much to say about HTML elements and attributes. And as my JavaScript analyzing program just refused to work, I don't have much to say about JavaScript either. But this means the major part of the research deals with CSS - properties, units, selectors, validation, etc. Hope you like it, (any comments are welcome) Rene Saarsoo ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
