Templates conversion summary and notes

DOCTYPE

the current DOCTYPE of TikiPro is XHTML 1.0 Transitional, however there are only few changes required until we are XHTML 1.0 Strict. Conversion should therefore be qutite straight foreward and should happen quite soon.

Compliancy

we are working hard on getting TikiPro absolutely W3C standards compliant including WCAG specifications - including priorities 1, 2 and 3.

Requirements

W3C XHTML 1.0 Strict

  • there are still some tiny issues such as structures aren't completely XHTML compliant yet as the <li> and <ul> tags aren't in the correct order yet.
  • target="_blank" has to be removed entirely - also a requirement for WCAG.

WCAG A, AA, AAA

here quite a bit of work is required, but since we don't use many tables and most links and images are already labelled quite well, it is a reachable goal.

  • one requirement is that links are not allowed to follow one another without space or other sort of separation. we will therefore change the navigation bar, that appears at the bottom of some pages into a <ul> list of items. that will also allow users to create a dropdown for these items, making navigation easier and nicer.

Tables

Templates in TikiPro have undergone a major change since the beginning. most noticably, we hardly use any tables anymore - only where absolutely needed.

the only place where tables are used, is to display large amounts of data where columns are of the essence such as a listing of wikipages - elimination of tables isn't complete yet, but well underway.

due to the WCAG specifications, tables that are used, will have to carry a lot more information than they already do, including 'summary' 'headers' or 'scope'.

Lists

listings of certain types use <ul> or <ol> giving the styler absolute freedom on how they want to display the list using css.
