Founded in 1998, The Web Standards Project campaigns for standards that reduce the cost and complexity of development while increasing the accessibility and long-term viability of any site published on the Web. WaSP works with browser companies, authoring tool makers, and peers to deliver the true power of standards to this medium.
Task Forces
The Web Standards Project also hosts projects focused on bringing relevant organizations closer to standards-compliance, dubbed Task Forces. By working with the larger organizations providing common tools to internet users, they are impacting the progress of standards adoption in the most effective way possible.
- The Acid2 test allows browsers and other rendering engines to test compliance with CSS 1 and 2 specifications.
- Education Task Force works with institutions of higher education to promote instruction of Web standards and standards-compliant public sites.
- The Dreamweaver Task Force focuses on tightening the parameters and output of the Macromedia Dreamweaver IDE.
- DOM Scripting Task Force, focusing on interoperable client-side scripting.
- Microsoft Task Force, which works with the Internet Explorer and Web platform tools team.
