Η WASP ανακοινώνει το Διεθνές Γκρουπ Επικοινωνίας (ILG)
Το πάθος και η ελπίδα που είχα κατά τη διάρκεια που ήμουν στην ηγεσία τoυ Web Standards Project οδήγησαν στη δημιουργία ενός δικτύου με συναδέλφους στον κόσμο. Έτσι κι αλλιώς μιλάμε για τον Παγκόσμιο Ιστό, σωστά; Για μένα ήταν λογικό το γεγονός ότι για να προχωρήσουμε στην αποστολή μας έπρεπε ...

Acid 2 Test Back to Normal
By Derek Featherstone | July 24th, 2008
The Acid 2 test hosted here on the WaSP site was broken but is now fixed.
For a while now we’ve had a problem with the Acid 2 Test on the WaSP site. If you’re unfamiliar with the Acid 2 Test, it is essentially a test for browser vendors to use as a means to gauge their standards compliance. If your browser renders the Acid 2 Test page the same as the Acid 2 reference rendering, then you know you’re hitting the mark.
I’ll be honest: over the last 10 days, I’ve learned more about the Acid 2 Test than I ever wanted to know. If you want to do the same, you might start with Acid 2: The Guided Tour.
The short version is that part of Acid 2 is a test for the way a browser handles an <object> element when the data attribute references a URL that returns an HTTP status code of 404. A number of caching rules, mod_rewrite rules and redirects all collided to create a problem with our 404. The cached version of our 404 page was returning an HTTP status of 200. As you might expect, this basically makes the test useless.
Acid 2 was broken. Now it is not. Carry on.
