HTML 4.0 requires that form be separated from page content. This is meant to make webpages more user-friendly. I write about this here with a demonstration of what this means practically, through a styleswitching script, the same one that I have at LoggedNotes. This demonstration styleswitching is meant to show how current browsers can now manipulate the way a user browses a page. The example I give in the article is Opera (the most recent version). I don’t know whether people realize this, but Opera actually allows one to view a page in different ways. I was even surprised to find out that it can include in its “View” toolbar even the stylesheets I had embedded in the tutorial page mentioned above. In any case, HTML 4.0 is the standard and so newbies at web design should learn it and stop using WYSIWYGs that are still at HTML 3.2 (and there are many available!)
