I noticed today the MSN search page has launched their new beta version. It is standards based! It's almost xhtml1.0 strict valid! Is this a sign of good things fromMicrosoft? http://search.msn.com I'm looking at the results page, I didn't check the splash page. Ted

RE: [WSG] new msn search engine

You got me! I swear I looked at it this morning with the w3 validator and it only had a few errors. I must have been validating the wrong tab. It's really strange, when you look at the validation results and compare it to the source code it seems to be looking at two different pages.

[WSG] designing for the cell phone and PDA

Is there anyone out there that has had some success building a style sheet to make their web site look good on a pocket pc or cell phone? I'd like to add this feature to our site but I haven't had much luck. Are there any successes or failures out there? Thanks Ted Drake Web Content Editor

[WSG] a quick target question

Could someone give me the appropriate replacement for target=_blank. I can't remember the correct javascript statement that opens it in a new window. I'm sure others could use it as well. Thank you Ted Drake Web Content Editor CSA Travel Protection http://www.csatravelprotection.com

RE: [WSG] a quick target question

I'm a bit confused by the (this.href) code. Should I replace that with the page in the href= section or is it looking back at the href and use that url? I understand the repetition for keypress/onclick are for those without a mouse and those with a mouse. n'est-ce pas? Ted -Original
