Standards, standards and more standards...This time we bring you news from the W3C Web API Working Group. They have published their Working Draft of "Progress Events 1.0".
Progress Events are event types used to monitor the progress of an operation. If you develop applications using XMLHTTPRequest or Media Access Events, then you need to understand how the progress events are being defined.

If you like to review W3C standards before they become official, here's one you need to take a close look at. The W3C Web API Working Group has published the Last Call Working Draft of "The XMLHttpRequest Object" specification.
IE8: Is Microsoft Breaking the Web?
Published on Mar 17, 2008Topics: ie8 internet explorer microsoft w3c web publishing web standards

It was about mid-December, just after Opera Software filed an antitrust lawsuit against Microsoft -- partly focused on Internet Explorer not following web standards -- that Microsoft finally came out and publicly announced their support for key web standards in version 8 of their prolific web browser.
With the recent release of IE8's first Beta the public can now finally find out for themselves just how well they have done that. What is even more interesting -- and perhaps a matter of debate -- is that they have done it in such a way as to not "Break the Web." Or in other words, they plan to deliver IE8 with backwards compatibility by introducing a controversial third operating mode.

The W3C Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) realizes that the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 1.0) discouragement of Javascript does not work for developing accessible Rich Internet Applications. They do recognize the need to provide technologies to map controls, AJAX live regions, and events to accessibility APIs.
As a result, the Protocols and Formats Working Group has released the first set of Working Drafts of the ARIA - Accessible Rich Internet Applications suite.

WC3 Gives the Semantic Web SPARQL and Shine
Published on Jan 23, 2008Topics: semantic web sparql w3c web publishing

Oh the semantic web. Such romantic and lofty notions are conjured up at even its mere mention. And now, how it sparkles so. I refer, of course, to SPARQL (pronounced "sparkle") the new query technology released by the World Wide Web Consortium (WC3).

Published on Dec 13, 2007Topics: ajax apple developer applications iphone java javasx mobile sun microsystems w3c

Forrester has released a list of 10 reasons why Apple's iPhone is no friend to IT.
You can probably think of a few already: the prohibitive cost, the first-gen factor, and fidelity to AT&T.
Setting the Standards: HTML 5 vs. XHTML 2
Published on Dec 4, 2007Topics: html w3c web standards
Defining and reaching consensus on web standards is a daunting task indeed. Trying to get the entire internet community to concur on new standards may be best compared to the time honored cliche of “trying to herd cats”.
Every developer has their own ideas on the “right” way to do things, compounded by how the customer wants them done. Not to be ignored, is how the site visitors want the site to work. Everybody has their own vested interest.
Squiz Sez You're Not Accessible Enough

Squiz is forever telling us what we should do and what we should think: about CMS, about SEO, doing business on the web, about the Four Noble Truths of the Buddha (it's a WIP). Which is quite irritating, because they're invariably just about right.

More Ajax Standard Updates from the W3C

The boffins at the W3C, locked in their dank MIT dungeon, have nothing better to do with their time than rattle off paper after paper on new development protocols.
The more they put out, so it is said, the less Tim Berners-Lee flogs them.
Third Time's the Charm for XForms 1.0
Published on Nov 1, 2007Topics: w3c web cms web content web standards xforms
![]()
The shift from linear storage of user input data to much more useful XML based storage (like DITA) is a trend which is becoming increasingly pronounced. Information written to an XML standard offers increased automation potential, reuse, and is altogether a far better bet than regularly formatted text.
