Dan's Web Tips: Cleaning Up
After WYSIWYG Editors
Most web editors aren't very well housebroken; here are some of
the messes they leave behind.
Assessment
It's a site about what is probably very good web-design advice.
-
A
<table>is being used for layout. -
There are a few absolute widths.
Actually, not too bad a page. But just a few blocks of literal HTML code cause the entire column of the main text to have the same, unnecessary minimum width.
Update! — 2007-09-04 — While <table> is still in use for layout, it is
much more flexible, and so can cope with narrower windows.
Marvellous!
