Some people are already argueing about the jQuery-Library as standard JS-Framework in Drupal 5. Because jQuery uses the $()-Function too, it is incompatible with Prototype. I’m a fan of Prototype too, but I want to use Prototype as well, so I refactored Prototype, so that the $()-Function in Prototype is called $ID(), but $$()-function still remains as $$(). The following two files are my version of Prototype, one uncompressed, on compressed with JSJuicer, some my say I should have used Packer from Dean Edwards, but it’s buggy and Prototype does not work after packing it.

Nearly everybody knows the W3C-(X)HTML-Validator and the W3C-CSS-Validator, there are quite helpful for all because they gurantee that software which is programmed following the guidelines of those standards should understand it correctly. With the new Web 2.0 wave, there’re some new validators, one (serious) for RSS/ATOM-Feeds (also available with a W3C-GUI) and one funny for Web 2.0. The first two are some very rich checking ones, but there some other partly useful validators: checking for no-www-compilance, a Creative Commons-Validator, and many more….
Keep the standards, check them and enjoy the funny validator(I like the Web 2.0 Validator 
)

The ordinary job of web developer is to create a Homepage/Application which works well and has a nice layout. Some core components of this is for example to write a valid (X)HTML Template/Page. But some others just ignore this fact and don’t care about usability. This persons should read Eric S. Raymonnd’s HTML Hell Page which describes nearly every big mistake, which is commonly made.
