Saving Bandwidth With Standards-Compliant Code

Posted by timothy on from the look-feel-do dept.

RadioheadKid writes "DevEdge has an interview with ESPN associate art director Mike Davidson. In the interview Davison talks about the decision to switch to a standards-based, non-table layout. The interview touches on the process he went through to make that decision and the rewards in both bandwidth savings and browser compatibility. An interesting read for those who have not switched to a standards-based, non-table layout. (hint, hint)"

    After their latest homepage update I finally had enough. All my ESPN bookmarks now point to http://lite.espn.go.com. No Flash, no ads, no MS crap off to the right, just the content. You can always click on the big ESPN logo at the top to access the bloated homepage if you feel the need.

    I love hearing about standardized web code on Slashdot, which is so embarrassed about its HTML that it blocks the validator.
