Hi All

I would like to hear about your experience with new features in latest CCS as
XHTML and 508 ?

I'm very satisified, this cuts my work with 70% in my attempts to get clean and good XHTML sites, web applications.

I want to thank you once more the YESSOFTWARE for their great efforts for XHTML/508 ...

THANK YOU :-)

Hi Feha,

When searching for solutions to convert a CCS-site to XHTML, I found your request. I am building CCS-sites for the local government in Holland and accessibility is important.

I tested XHTML and Doctype in a new project, it works fine. But when I change in an existing project a HTML-file (putting Doctype on first line and changing .css in Style_doctype) it doesn't work. Do you know if it possible to change existing projects?

Hi marcel

I think thats not possible to convert old projects to XHTML/508 ...
You will have to do this manually .

That's a pity. The problem is that when I add a Doctype-declaration on the first line manually, it disappears sometimes (after changes in design mode). I already changed the template-html and added the doctype but that doesn't help.
I also encountered that there are more style sheets: Style_doctype.css seems to be the one for XHTML. Otherwise the design is incorrect, e.g. all the tables get smaller fonts (inheriting font size from table). Somewhere CC decides to use the right style sheet, probably based on the doctype-declaration in the HTML-file. I will ask support for information.

Greetings,
Marcel

Marcel,
I think it is stated in the docs, or release notes or in the announcement.
"can only be applied to new...."

Support confirmed that it is not possible to regenerate old projects because the HTML-code is different. So I keep XHTML for my new projects.

Some info from support:

Quote :
You can select one of Standards while creating a new CCS project:
HTML
HTML Section 508
XHTML Transitional
XHTML Transitional Section 508 compliant
Depending on it different HTML code is generated. It’s not possible to change standard of existing project.
Style_doctype.css is used/created when you create a project with Section 508 support (or XHTML).
Style.css is used when you create a usual HTML project.
You can read more about HTML types and CCS Help article User’s Guide -> Working with Projects -> Creating a New Project
