I just started reading about the tutorials in w3skulls about the HTML Document Object Model, and it has a lot of objects that can be manipulated through java script.

The thing is that most of these objects are obsolete html tags, and im not sure if thats ok or should we stick anyway to the standrs, and manipulate everything that fits the standar, like through the style object.

Becouse, if its not obsolete html, why will w3zkoolz have it there without notes about this issue of standars compliance?

Thanks!

better write the webmaster of the site... so they can take actions or maybe explain it to u y...

or visit the w3c.org.. its the very organization that maintains standards in html and everything in web technology....

err... i did not understand where you took that from Tyssen.. who are you quoting? hehe

Yes, never thought about that.. writting to the web master and yes i know about w3c, sometimes i go there for some info, but theres a whole world of information in there, so its easy to get lost. By the way, i belive w3schools is derived from w3c.. hence the name right? hehe

What are you talking to me for? I haven't posted anything in this thread prior to this.

Well, HTML DOM was originally the W3C's idea, so all of it should conform to standards. BUT! Every browser is different and some read javascript differently, especially since it is not a standard...so some browsers have DOM objects that other browsers do not. However, that does not keep the page from being standards-compatible because of the fact that javascript is client-side and is a script language, and, as far as I know, the W3C's standards do not deal with anything pertaining to scripts.

I hope that this makes sense...

Good luck and good coding!!

Sorry Tyssen, but i swear to god i saw a post from you having you said that! right in this thread! Thats why i asked that but is gone... am i crazy or did any one else saw that post?

And arboc7 i do get your point, but i havent fully understood the question i was asking in the first place, i mean, after all, if w3c standars now find the xhtml as their highest standar, why will they promote these objects?

_I do get the point about js and the compatibility among browsers (i thought it was standar! thanks for that tip), but ... i dont know...

And i searched the site for a web masters e-mail or contact link and was not succesful, so i couldnt ask the web master...

They still promote the use of DOM scripts because HTML/XHTML is for document structure, CSS is for style or presentation, and DOM is for behavior.
