Web DNA

Web DNAWeb DNA is a site that will look at the underlying structure of your website, and generate a graphic representation of it resembling human DNA. The basic idea is that the brighter the image is, the more semantically rich (and modern) your site is. From the site:

The brightness of the lines is determined by the importance of the tags in terms of structure.

  • H1 is brighter than H2, which is brighter than H3.
  • TABLE is brighter than TR, which is brighter than TD tags.
  • Images and flash elements appear as 70% white.
  • New HTML tags like STRONG and EM is brighter than older ones like B and I
  • UL, OL and DL is brighter than their LI, DT, DD
  • DIV layout is brighter than table layout
Really, it's just a fun little web gadget to play with and compare sites in an abstract manner.
