I have a tendency to write my pages without ever specifying Doctype. For a long time I thought it was a worthless tag that did nothing (and actually it is, save from a standpoint of standards identification) .
So I'm curious about your guys' coding. Do you code compliant xhtml? strict? transitional? Do you run everything you do through a validator before handing it over to a client?
Or do you simply code it so it works in the major browsers the way you want it to, and say 'forget the defined standard!'
Compliant always. I run it my pages through Dreamweaver's validator because it gives an explanation of what's wrong and you can double click and it will take you directly to the line that needs to be fixed. It's a great feeling to see it comes back with no errors.
now I do xhtml 1.1. strict - then test in ff, safari, opera, ie win and ie mac (just to see how bad it is for OS 9 users and its usually not that bad) - its not that hard - w3.org has the validators you need.
