Web standards: Bookmarks and test files

I do a lot of work on Web standards – the use and promotion of published recommendations for HTML, CSS, and accessibility. Indeed, accessibility is a Web standard.

Apart from Webstandards.TO, our little social club here in Toronto for our pitiful ragtag handful of standards-compliant Web developers, I have a few other offerings available.

Bookmarks for standards testing

In the course of everyday Web-surfing, I run across a number of examples of topics in Web standards and accessibility. Every so often, I publish those bookmarks:

  1. First set, from 2004.05.26
  2. Second set, from 2005.11.05

Type tests

Small caps

Can we get real small caps using nothing but CSS? Try this test page, which I cannot really get to work.

Ligatures

See a previous test of ligatures (fi, fl, and the like).

Space characters

Test of em, en, thin, and hair spaces in browsers.

Canonical test podcasts

Are you the creator, programmer, or quality-tester of a podcasting application? This page provides a range of podcasts that exemplify a range of atypical use case from merely uncommon to exceedingly fringe. If your app can handle all these, you’re doing well.
