Global .NET standards

1. .html or .aspx files only
2. aspx files have proper DTD – document type declaration
3. naming - container aspx file and content html component have identical name
4. naming should be "Capability_purpose.suffix", for example popups are PU_SecurityView.html, Entity_CompanyContacts_Detail.aspx
5. comments section at the top of every file
6. overall HTML architecture (html, head, body, form etc)
7. proper indentation of code
8. XHTML compliance – closing slashes on images, input, br, etc
9. one form tag per page right after body tag
10. No name or ID attribute on form elements
11. links are absolute
12. image files use appropriate names: img, icon, btn, nav, text
13. image tags contain alt, width and height attribute
14. javascript tags: language and type attributes, variable declarations explicit as var, one statement per line, end lines with semicolon, proper indentation
15. no changes to CSS by off- site resource – changes must be made with UI collaboration
16. page weight 35K
17. no horizontal scrolling at resolutions 800 X 600 or 1024 X 768
18. browser support IE 5.0 – 8.0
19. "super-set" html content component should have discreet easily hidden components, as stacked tables or TR for conditional rendering – TD will not work for this
20. All lists should be width="100%"
21. % should not be used on any TD (Except snapshot page template)
22. Styles should NOT be used on the TD for any cell containing inputs, selects or required asterisks – use span instead on the text in question or assign the class to the input itself.
