Standards-Based CSS/XHTML Slide Show

Posted by timothy on from the look-ma-no-powerpoint dept.

sootman writes "Eric Meyer, the man behind the famous Complex Spiral (CSS) Demo page, is at it again. He has created S5, "a slide show format based entirely on XHTML, CSS, and JavaScript." As he says, "With one file, you can run a complete slide show and have a printer-friendly version as well. The markup used for the slides is very simple, highly semantic, and completely accessible." So it can be used for PowerPoint-like work and the show responds to a variety of input--you can go to the next slide by pressing Return, Right, Space, etc. It is being released under a Creative Commons license. So fire up our favorite standards-compliant browser and check it out!"

      Brilliant moderators. How does a first post get modded as redundant? Criminy.

    As a bonus, its markup is compatible with the Opera Show Format

    After it gets it's first bloat-ware patch, it'll be Oprah Show compatible too!

    I'm here all week.

    Slashdot is standards compliant. HTML 3.2 Other than the over 110 deviations on the main page, they are totally compliant.
