Back to the basics – validating HTML anyone?

April 19, 2008 | In: ApnaBill, Rails, Startups, Web 2.0

Its almost 4 AM now & past 3 hours saw a lot of commits going into ApnaBill.com code. After realizing that we were not generating (X)HTML code, the effort was targeted at containment, if not eradication

Many thanks to Zundra for pointing this out to me.

Due to an open div tag, the new (& slick looking) navbar wasn’t showing up on IE. HTML cleanup frenzy atleast solved that problem…

Here is what’ve changed in the code so far (straight out of our changelog)

Fixed a typo in recharge layout, a div tag was left open…
Added type=text/css attribute to many style tags.
Corrected CSS markups, removed dups.
Added type=text/javascript attribute
Cleaned up recharge layout, removed closing slash in self ending tags.
Moved critical developer comments into ruby comments
Moved hover box font=+2 to CSS
Added invite section to navbar, removed the top-left badge.

Phew! Thats enough work for the night… onto some hollywood flick now!

Oh yes, btw, tomorrow’s a pretty hectic day. I’m watching “Horton Hears a Who” at 11AM, then going for LCG Meet at 3PM and meeting folks from www.entrip.com at 6PM. Wow! Now thats some schedule!
