These CSS control adaptors change the html output of default controls, such
as menu

Depending what browser or internet device the ASP.NET site is accessed with
the X/HTML code can change, the W3C validator is not recognised as a 'high
level' browser so the markup rendered is at times invalid, the reason being
to be compatible with older browsers

I've been reading some stuff of Ms,
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa479043.aspx.

We use both .net 2 and 1 or 1.1, i think they dont care much about if
a menu is tables inside a table but i fighting against taht proving
that the weight is 3 /5 times more and semantic of elements.

but first i want to understand what can i do to help they sow i want
to learn all about compliant ASP.

Jason i dont understand quite well what does this..

"Due to adaptive rendering, if you want to validate using W3C validator add
the following file (remove .txt) to a directory called App_Browsers
http://idunno.org/misc/w3cvalidator.browser.txt";

Validates the code no need to rendering the code in browers?

Thanks to everyone
Gaspar

Hi Gaspar,
Looks like you guys are still using Visual Studio 2003, therefore .NET
1.1. You should consider moving up to VS 2005 and .NET 2.0 as the
standards support is much better.

Hello everyone,
I always work with PHP, use it to output my (x)HTML in the way i want.

Now a get to a agency that only work with ASP, i just can believe that
there's no way to avoid runnet"_server", IDs with 1000 characters, the
some IDs on , values of forms with 50lines height, and the form
at the start that dont let me usa any Strict Language.

Iam not good with ASP, many of the functions i dont understand, i do
know that some of this points are easy to change but others like the
bigs ID.

Iam working with the interface/html team and maybe the team that build
the aplications wouldn be so open to that changes, they say that is
easiest and quicky putting the native elements of .net tham building,
i believe that but and the others people that update or even the
weight of pages.

I just want to help change this, http://www.ispa.pt u could check the
biggest value of a form that i see.

Could someone give me some links or some stuff that someone without
knowledge of ASP could help implementing some improves generate GOOD
(X)HTML

Many thanks,
Gaspar

What version of .NET are you using? There is a big difference between 1.0 &
2.0. These following links apply to version 2.0

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/exc57y7e.aspx
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa479043.aspx

Change the conformance to strict in the web.config 





Due to adaptive rendering, if you want to validate using W3C validator add
the following file (remove .txt) to a directory called App_Browsers
http://idunno.org/misc/w3cvalidator.browser.txt

They're absolutely right, it is easier. That doesn't make it the right
thing to do though.

Now, I'm no server-side programmer, but I get to work with .net quite
a lot. It's got a lot of "features" that make me want to stove
someone's head in with a shovel (the enourmous viewstate, smartnav,
one form per page, table controls that strip out summary attributes
and  elements, etc), but when a programmer knows what they're
doing, it's perfectly possible to get it to output nicer code. There's
all sorts of tricks, such as rewriting the HTML by overriding the
render method.

By the sounds of it, your biggest hurdle is going to be the
programmers. They need educating in the ways of the web. Once you've
won them over, you're halfway there. It may be that you have to bite
the bullet and make the best of what you've got though.
