The Web Standards Project (WaSP), founded in 1998, works with browser and website authoring application vendors in promoting accessibility standards. The organization has referenced World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) recommendations in promoting technologies. Applying the HTML 4, Compatible Extensible Hypertext Markup Language (XHTML), Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), ECMAScript, and Document Object Model (DOM) standards, developers can reduce production costs and deliver content to a variety of devices. WaSP also promotes the HTML5 and MathML standards for advanced browsers. The Microsoft (R) Internet Explorer (R), Opera, Netscape, Mozilla support recommended cross-platform structural, semantic, and scripting languages. WaSP includes the Adobe (R), Accessibility, Microsoft, and Education task forces. The Education Task Force has developed the WaSP Curriculum Framework, which identifies professional web design skill sets. The framework includes course overview, learning competency, sample assignment and test question, textbook recommendation, and resource components. WaSP also supports the Acid2 and Acid3 browser testing projects. The tests evaluate dynamic browser capabilities. The projects assist browser vendors in developing programs that support multiple web standards.
