SwissCMS is XHTML 1.0 Transitional

With the exception of additional embedded Flash objects (see this workaround), we are pleased to announce that the SwissCMS shell is now 100% WC3 compliant.



To show our visitors that we have taken the care to create an interoperable and browser-compliant application, we have displayed the icon below on all pages that pass validation.



We're also proud to announce that we've achieved W3C validation on all three counts:

• Valid XHMTL
• Valid CSS style sheets
• Valid RSS news feeds
  

What does this mean for clients?

Well, for starters, it means that all your pages will be parsed perfectly.

W3C valid code also means:

• Your visitors are getting the 'best' browsing experience
  
• Search engines will parse your error-free pages quicker
• Improved access to those with disabilities
• Pages will be more efficiently parsed by screen readers
• Syndicate websites can rely on you for valid content
• That little extra touch of prestige and professionalism
• SwissCMS is suitable for deployment in public sector environments
  

However, this does not mean that content you generate yourself will always be compliant - you may, for example, insert some malformed or syntactically loose javascript.  In this scenario, we take no responsibility for invalid compliance claims.

To avoid any false claims, the standard footer that comes with SwissCMS installations does not contain any validation links or images - this must be added manually yourself.  The necessary code can be found on the W3C website and the required graphics can be found in the 'images' folder of your SwissCMS installation.
