anyone with basic understanding of html, can identify
that anchor tag begins before <td> tag, and ends after
<td> tag. In simple words <td> tag is embeded inside
anchor tag and gecko based browsers are unable to
renders it whereas IE is able to render it. So i changed the code to following(on local machine)
and it worked.
This has already been reported in LIH.
I might be wrong, but AFAIK, making <td> tags linkable is non-standard and IE specific.
Also, what you are anyway saying that, because IE renders it, it is ok, and it is Gecko which has to be blamed because it doesnt render it properly?
That is the whole point isnt it? These companies develop websites, and test it solely on IE, and dont even care for other browsers like Netscape, Opera etc.
The point of that hallofshame webpage is to point out instances where the said entity doesnt bother making their services/products accessible on non-IE browsers. It doesnt matter what is causing the problem - in most cases, these entities dont bother using standard compatible code.
For them IE is the standard, and any browsers which doesnt support everything that IE supports is non-standard. Somewhat similar to what you wrote in your mail.
The point of this drive is to publicise the fact that there is a world outside IE which is trying to use their websites. Other issues that are worth pointing out is when important websites like banks, etc. are not accessible by people with disabilities like color-blindness, etc. Not being accessible by any kind of people is discrimination, something similar to "You can enter this premises, because you are not wearing a shirt and tie".
People creating socially critical websites should be made aware that they have far more responsibility that merely serving up a website.
