Microsoft Expression? Practice what you preach! Wednesday evening, 29 November 2006

Microsoft are busy touting the new best practices, standards adhering, front-page replacing development environment for HTML – Expression. The video on their website tells you just how awesomely perfect it is! Maybe they should have used Expression to develop that page however, which has a staggering HTML 146 errors and a good smattering of CSS errors! It uses best practices such as omitting the doctype, iFrames, inline JavaScript, javascript event handlers on tags, table based layouts (complete with spacer gifs), target=top, blank alt attributes, style attributes.

At least the Adobe Dreamweaver page which touts their CSS support only has 4 errors, and those are down not encoding the & symbol in a link. It, by comparison, uses good semantics throughout and exhibits well ordered HTML.

I’m interested to see if they’ll update it when it goes for sale.
