Don’t look under the hood…

The ever-informative TechCrunch brought to my attention a new (free) online e-learning system called Nuvvo. It looks good, and it’s a great idea.

But what’s this? Look under the hood (viewing the source) and it’s a mish-mash of nested tables, inline JavaScript and spacer gifs. All of which makes it difficult – if not impossible – to be compatible with a wide range of browsers, not to mention screen readers and handheld devices. So while the idea is very Web 2.0, the implementation isn’t.
