RE: [WSG] NN4 - Anyone Care?
Actually at our university NN4 still has a significant place. It has to do with the way IS services are rendered - very decentralized. This leaves a free for all and pockets where there have been no upgrades since Adam was a cowboy.

Just a question... Why is there such an emphasis on NN4? Who actually still uses this? Don't say universities because they would update... So who actually uses it? Why is it more important to worry about NN4 than Konqueror or Safari? Is NN4 still avaliable for download anywhere but Evolt Cheers! -- Chris Stratford [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.neester.com ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help ** ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help **
RE: Future.....(was: Re: [WSG] iFrames vs Scrolling Divs)
Well, to answer that i dare you to walk into any web-based enterprise that has a DHTML intranet, and say the following words: Get rid of IFRAMES, and use something else Wear some padding, as the fall from the window could be high. Scott Barnes I think this demonstrates why having the Web vote on what should be standards falls flat. Wallace Stegner wrote, I don't know what I like as much as I like what I know. Meaning, in this context, that people are likely to maintain what they know and are comfortable with rather than to move forward into concepts that force them to change. I work in a university and my guess if put to a vote we would have outlawed any sort of CSS-P and probably any CSS at all. These folks grew up on tables and font tags and are loathe to give them up. Sometimes it is good to have people with vision to lead people where they would not go themselves.

Good point but remember we elect people who then represent us (in theory at least because I don't know who our current fellow at the top really represents) and vote on particular issues/bills. In no way do we vote on each bill. And no one is suggesting that we would be a better democracy if each and every bill went before the people. We can and some us do get involved at varying levels.

I find that a very hard thing to stomach and believe that a few would simply say that a vote would be a long drawn out exhausting process. To me if we can elect people within our society (in some countries) to run an entire country based on information we are given? Surely its not that much of a stretch in imagination to ask that we the ACTUAL development community have a say in the way standards are put forward to the world to follow? Its not a very large request? * The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help *
