Validate your Tablelessness =D

[hamheyelliot]

This isn't officially a W3 Validation service, but it does check W3 Guidelines;

You can confirm and place a recognition button of your website containing no tables.

I stumbled upon it, and it seems like a good service; You can either be confirmed Tableless to W3 Standards, allowing the occasional table in certain areas; or be 100% Tableless.

Ever wanted to see in all brilliance whether your site is tableless?

So what's the point in this? You get a little badge for using no tables...?

I don't see how it's a "good service", it basically just says if your site uses tables or not, which fade out by the day.. nothing brilliant.. at all..

I see it fit that being a website with no tables is a web standard as much as HTML and CSS Validity, so I just thought I'd post it.

[Dentafrice]

But it's pointless.. you're putting another pointless ego-increasing badge on your site, that a good majority of the end user doesn't care about if it renders well/properly, looks good, and works.

Putting some god-awful badge on it doesn't make your site more interesting.

So if my site contains a table for tabular data that means my site is invalid? Ha.

I think I would know if I put a table on my page... Also, as Awfy said, does this mean when it's reading tabular data that this is now invalid? No reason for it.

[hamheyelliot]

It does detect when you're using tabular data you know...
You can still validate otherwise...

Like I said, there's 2 types of validation:
'Using Tables to W3 Standards', and '100% Tableless'...
