>> The gfa pages fail validation via wC3. >> So do Google, Yahoo, eBay, Facebook, and CASA - so does it really matter? It does matter. I do not like using websites that are broken. The CASA site (which I use often) seems flakey even with IE on an IBM compatible PC. Failing wC3 validation to me is similar to assuming that ASCII text is the only way to pass information, versus being Unicode savvy. People may criticise wC3, but at least it is a standard that all browsers should be able to comply with, and to be able to display a web page predictably, and for it to behave predictably. There seems to be a real problem of feature creep on web pages (i.e. more visual clutter, more moving things, more things to go wrong). It is a though many page designers want to show off how clever they are at the expense of flakey poorly running web pages. It seems many page designers don't have any idea of human factors.
Many web pages today are like "Where's Wally?" Why not keep it simple? _______________________________________________ Aus-soaring mailing list [email protected] To check or change subscription details, visit: http://lists.internode.on.net/mailman/listinfo/aus-soaring
