In the past few weeks, I\'ve been working on following more the different web standards, and taught myself how to do designs in XHTML and CSS. As a practice, I converted the front page of Interordi.com in pure XHTML + CSS. The point was to have the page to look about the same, but written in a different (and more modern) structure. As an extra, the new page validates properly according to the W3C specs

What I need are some people to look at the new page, and compare it with the current one to see if their browser shows any difference. I\'ve copied the front page as a reference and removed the counter to avoid messing with the stats (I did a lot of reloads for tests).

Reference page (HTML 4)
Test page (XHTML + CSS)

I would appreciate it if everyone could take a few minutes to compare the two pages and report if they noticed any big differences. Some text alignment and spacing is off by a few pixels, and I\'m aware of that. What I want to know about are any big display differences that your browser does between the pages (there shouldn\'t be anything).

No matter if you see changes or not, please tell me your browser name and version, along with your operating name and version so I can see if there\'s any issue that I should take care off. If you see something that doesn\'t look right, having a screenshot could be useful.

The new page is not supposed to take over soon, I\'m only running tests for the time being.

Thanks!

On html the font is a lil smaller and the colors are a lil darker but if you switch over to xhtml the css makes it brighter and the buttons get smaller the text gets bigger it also seems to send everything up instead of down or makeing it centerered.Heh I dun really know much about XHTML but I\'m good with just HTML >_>.I\'ll be comparing more for a lil while longer.

If you simply reload the page, would it fix itself? IE tends to display the border like that once in a while (even after being fully loaded), but a simple reload gets it back in order. The same code was used for the borders on the MMPC website.




Could you get me a screenshot of that when you get around to look at the pages again? And what browser are you using? This sounds strange...

Sure here though it seems bigger then the other.I don\'t know if it affects you or not but i\'m useing the same as Protostar
What I see from experience of comparing websites to see which is better I see thiner colors on the regular html with bigger images and text.What I se on the XHTML is smaller stuff I don\'t know if it\'s just me or not=P

what I did was opened both of them up in two seperate windows and then simuostanly switched over to make it look like a animation to see the diffrences.

You seem to see what though look at the buttons and the lines how their big on one then go small>_>;;.It seems to be out of alignment.

Yes yes i know they do=P when they want to and you should know to copy and paste if they dun work mac seems to not like links=P,or the bandwitdh is down for the day.

GAH!READ THE POST DATES THE DOC HAS ALREADY ENDED THE TEST!(I\'m getting tired of this,sorry)

....Because not all topics have to be locked if people whould stop bumping them.

.....You don\'t for this board it\'s just not some skin you use,This is XMB doc did this by himself.

Did I ever say that the test was ended? No, so don\'t assume that. I\'m still interested in any issues that people might have with the two coding styles. A speed increase wasn\'t expected, however... Are you sure of that one, The Real Mystic?




Just to make sure that things are clear, I did the skin and several modifications to the board script. The system itself is not mine, and can be downloaded at http://www.xmbforum.com

I can change the basic colors and pictures on the board without editing any code. However, to make some more advanced modifications, I need to edit the HTML code.
