Comments on: Bad Code is Expensive http://robknight.net/2007/08/no-web-standards-for-new-palo-alto-website Wed, 23 Jun 2010 13:40:13 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Rob http://robknight.net/2007/08/no-web-standards-for-new-palo-alto-website/comment-page-1#comment-3596 Rob Thu, 30 Aug 2007 07:52:41 +0000 http://robknight.net/2007/08/15/no-web-standards-for-new-palo-alto-website/#comment-3596 @Teck64 Thank you for coming to read the story. Validation, as I mentioned in the article, is not the panacea for bad web design. However, leaving off a DOCTYPE on a $250,000 site is just irresponsible. I'm sure the people of Palo Alto didn't want their money spent on a site that sends every browser into quirks mode with pages that fail to render in most advanced browsers currently available (Firefox). This is Silicon Valley, right? @Teck64
