ALA 251: the filth and the fury
January 29, 2008
Issue No. 251 of A List Apart blew the roof off the internet, with articles by Aaron Gustafson unveiling, and Eric Meyer reviewing, Microsoft’s proposed update to the toggle browsers use to distinguish between content that is authored to web standards and stuff that is not. Even we, who knew we were publishing a controversial issue, were surprised by the passions (not to mention the invective) No. 251 unleashed. Version targeting (the name Microsoft has given to its proposed web standards rendering toggle) needs to be discussed and understood, and ALA is where that begins. Look for more on version targeting in upcoming issues of the magazine.
