Description

Between the mangled id and name attributes on tags, base64-encoded viewstate, and server-side control magic, ASP.NET Web Forms has not traditionally encouraged developers to delve into the fundamental technologies of the Web, namely HTML/XHTML, CSS, and JavaScript. In this article, we focused on writing clean, valid XHTML organized around structural aspects of the page and styling that structure using external CSS files. To wrap up, let's take a walk in the garden - the CSS Zen Garden, in fact - to see what can be accomplished in the browser if we embrace XHTML and CSS.
