Rich,

While the page is indeed butt ugly, I'll have to say that it's just as
ugly in IE as it is in Opera (my browser of choice -- life is too
short to wait on IE).  It looks like no body even looked at it in a
browser.

PS Life is also to short to wait on the bloated HTML generated by MS
Word or even Front Page....



J> OK, this is getting more than a little frustrating.  Over the past few
J> years, I've put in TARs about the poorly-written HTML on the Metalink pages
J> because it causes certain articles to be unreadable in browsers other than
J> IE.  I was hoping that the "new" Metalink (as yet unseen) would fix this,
J> until today when I read this:

J> http://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/ml2_documents.showDocument?p_datab
J> ase_id=NOT&p_id=135677.1

J> Seeing that half of the article is double spaced and has margins asserted on
J> it that cause the code to wrap, I viewed the source:

J> <meta name=Originator content="Microsoft Word 9">

J> JUST FREAKING GREAT!  What happened to Uncle Larry's Linux Mandate?  So what
J> if Oracle is converting to Linux?  Why should their customers use Linux if
J> Oracle makes it more difficult for them?  There ain't no browser available
J> on Linux that'll read that article properly because it's a Microslop-only
J> webpage!  GRRRRRRRRR!  >|
