Comment on No JS, No CSS, No HTML: online "clubs" celebrate plainer websites

  Oh, come on. You really want some at least readable output. Things like image borders, consistently positioned images/diagrams, line breaks and page borders. Some whitespace and indentations, too. You just can’t read a couple of pages full of unformatted raw text without massive eye fatigue. I’m all for dumping JS and excessive frameworks, I’d prefer well-formed XHTML over any of that clients-side scripted crap, but totally rejecting CSS is pointless zealotry.

    Some people haven’t lived through the time when HTML layout was done through nested tables, and it shows.

    In a perfect world, these would be decided not server-side, but client-side by choices made by the browser users.

    But our world is not perfect.

    HTML but no-CSS has defaults though.

    Can you read books

      Yes , I can read books. I even read one or two of the 1200 around me. Those with the fuckpics and some of the funnier ones, like “Phyänomenologie des Geistes” by Hegel. I wouldn’t have if they had been layouted using browser standards.

        They’re not standards, it’s just default styles, which you can change.

    Why do you think I’m advocating for getting rid of CSS and not being silly?

      I don’t think. You can’t prove I do! Leave me alone. You’re one of them! I knew it all the time.
