I’ve decided yet again to re-write the Total Carnage website. As mentioned yesterday, Kelvin discovered Ext JS which I will be using to form the bulk of the new website. I’ve decided I’m going to make the progress on this one a bit more public so you can see how it’s going (probably very slowly now I have a job!).
A few other things I want to do for this project is to make it XHTML 1.1 and CSS valid. It’s going to be mostly AJAX based anyway, so it should look pretty swish. I also want to completely seperate content from design by using CSS properly - until now I’ve just used CSS to enhance. You’ll notice the XHTML in the source is as simple as divs - no style=”..” or anything (aside from the ExtJS-added stuff which I am not really responsible for…). Lets see if I can get to the end of this project…
Have a look here: http://www.total-carnage.org/beta/
I also just noticed that IE7 dislikes that strictness. I’ll have a look in IE8 later…

Don’t use XHTML 1.1 - it needs to be served as application/xhtml+xml, and guess who doesn’t support that… :/
XHTML 1.0 can still be served as text/html though.
