Avi Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 The Web Standards Project (WaSP) today announced the release of Acid3, the latest in a line of tests designed to expose flaws in the implementation of mature Web standards in Web browsers. By making sure their software adheres to the test, the creators of these products can be more confident that their software will display and function with Web pages correctly both now and with Web pages of the future.The Acid3 Test is designed to test specifications for Web 2.0, and exposes potential flaws in implementations of the public ECMAScript 262 and W3C Document Object Model 2 standards. Collectively known as DOM Scripting, it is these technologies that enable advanced page interactivity and power many advanced web applications such as web-based email and online office applications. As a series of 100 mini-tests, Acid3 has already been found to expose flaws in all tested browsers, including Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, and Safari. WaSP hopes that Acid3 will prove useful to browser makers during the development of future versions of their products. WaSP has a history of such initiatives. In 1997, emeritus member Todd Fahrner, together with a group of crack Web developers dubbed the ?CSS Samurai,? created an ?Acid Test? that highlighted shortcomings in browser support for CSS. The Acid Test was instrumental in moving the industry much closer to the goal of consistent rendering of Web pages in different browsers. This was followed by Acid2 in 2005, designed to expose flaws in the implementation of mature Web standards such as HTML, CSS, and PNG. Acid3 builds on and extends this legacy to web applications in 2008.

The_Decryptor Veteran Posted March 4, 2008 Veteran Share Posted March 4, 2008 Webkit so far: Yeah, WebKit caused a few problems :laugh: ...Also, I have to say, it was quite difficult to find standards compliance bugs in WebKit to use in the test. I had to go the extra mile to get WebKit to score low! This was not the case with most of the other browsers. ... http://ln.hixie.ch/?start=1204593554&count=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1Frothy Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Does this test actually really even matter? Really? All my website load nicely in Firefox 2. Anyway, the IE Epic Fail's are funny. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcel T Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 I'm pretty sure there's only one browser that passes the Acid 3 test ATM, Lynx with JS turned on If you squint a little, you can see the 100/100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Montage Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Goes to show one thing. Acid 3 means nothing towards joe user. Standards are great and a "goal" but design to users! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lasker Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Goes to show one thing. Acid 3 means nothing towards joe user. Standards are great and a "goal" but design to users! I agree, 60 to 70% of the users of ie have internet explorer 6, so everytime I designed a website I need to make sure that looks good first in version 6.
