I totally agree with you Brooke. Like you, I was always really really strict about indentation when working in C, my junior programming staff used to get very sick of me for being so anal about itvrooje wrote: it's funny but I never was very good at indenting HTML. With PHP, Javascript, ASP/VBscript, and of course C/C++, I am strict with my indentation rules -- but I never considered HTML the same type of "code", so I never learned to indent it. Old habits are hard to break! But luckily, even unindented hand-written code is ten times easier to read than code written by a WYSIWYG editor.
But, it's true, with HTML it doesn't seem so important and I am much more laid back about it...
I think that the advantage of going back to basics, is that Jen has written every line of code herself, so when she needs to amend something she knows exactly where to go, she doesn't need to trawl through the quagmire of extra unnecessary extra bits that a wysiwyg editor would insert, nor the bits where the editor would completely rearrange any spacing or indentation that she may have painstakingly inserted.
I am humbled...
I have seen the light...
