So the title says it all I guess... I was wondering if there was a limit, according to the standards, that we should respect while entering keywords in the <meta name="keywords" /> tag inside the HEAD of any HTML page. Please note, I'm not asking how specific search engines take this tag into consideration, but about standards. EDIT: ...

So, I couldn't help noticing while demonstrating Chrome's DOM browser thing to my brother, that Google uses a <font size=-2> tag. I know this is a stupid question, but from a programming point of view--why would they use a deprecated tag on Google? Is it because it's smaller than using <p class="whatever"> and then creating a style for ...
In any CMS based site after my work in future client or any client's staff (non-technical) will update website through WYSIWYG editor and it's surely possible they could use deprecated tag or any non-semantic and non validated code. so in this condition would it be better to use transtional doctype over strict for CMS based site? ...

I noticed that many websites, even Google and some banking sites, have poorly-written HTML with no quotes around the values of attributes, or using characters such as ampersands not escaped correctly in links. In other words, many use markup that would not validate. I am curious about their reasons. HTML has simple rules and it is just ...

I come from a multimedia background as opposed to a pure-CS background so I would find a heavy CS-paper about subjects like algorithms hard to review.

Hi there. I'm actually coding a website and a doubt came to me. I have a list of images (it's an artist portfolio, so it should be images), some of which have a "Featured" badge. Is it semantically correct to wrap the img into a strong tag instead of using a class="featured"? Will it add strong emphasis to the image? Reading the W3C sp...
Is there any difference in <noscript> block processing for pages served with MIME-type text/html versus those served with MIME-type application/xhtml+xml? As far as I noticed <noscript> block for text/html pages is not processed at all if JavaScript is disabled in browser. And what happens for application/xhtml+xml pages? I suspect that...
I found some good cons here. The noscript tag only detects whether the browser has JavaScript enabled or not. If JavaScript is disabled in the Firewall rather than in the browser then the JavaScript will not run and the content of the noscript tag will not be displayed. Many JavaScripts are dependent on a specific feature or features...

A topic of debate that's seen a resurgence since the unveiling of the iPad is the issue of Flash versus HTML5. There are those that suggest that HTML5 will one day supplant/replace Adobe Flash. I do not develop software that runs in a browser, so my (limited) understanding is: HTML is a pure-text markup language that is delivered ove...
