What’s wrong with the new ‘Globe and Mail’ mobile site?
january 2011 by joeclark
Here’s what I asked Greg MacGregor. I’m sure Craig will shake his head with bemusement.
I'm really not clear why your new mobile site can't even bother to declare
<doctype HTML> or its human language, or use real links (href="#" means
nothing), or use an alt text that isn't "img", or use the CSS cascade
instead of malarkey like class="serif fontsmall menuitem gbb", or heading
elements.
In short, how is your mobile site new and improved if it doesn't really
even have HTML?
