As I said, they *have* stuck to the standards. If you have any doubts,
try http://validator.w3.org/


Doesn't pass, at least:

http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/uk/radar/index.html

Doesn't, "Line 672, Column 240: end tag for element "IFRAME" which is
not open"

The javascript isn't checked either only the HTML markup.


Thanks for providing a link to where a problem lies.

When I was still at work, the Met Office web-site was maintained and
designed in-house and pages were checked for W3C-compliance before
publishing. Of course, there had to be non-compliant sections in the
code to enable the pages to work with IE, but they were clearly identified.

I don't know who is now responsible for design and maintenance of the
site but it appears to be more W3C-compliant than the vast majority of
web-sites - particularly of those who profess to teach web design.

Regarding unnecessary complexity, I think designers should be constantly
reminded of KISS - Keep It Simple, Stupid.
