In one sense, this argument is fallacious, because whatever the web designer

I just wonder what the view of some 'anti-new windows' folk is towards using
tabs? I would have thought that tabs are the new 'new windows'??
And doesn't the popularity of tabs imply that users do like to have more
than one page 'on the go' instead of doing a lot of back and forwarding?

I have a very simple html5 contact form which I'd like to keep that way.
However, the 'pattern' attribute isn't recognised by IE and I feel that it
surely must be possible to just use a bit of modernizr to make it work.
Example is:
Email

I've been looking at stuff like this (check for these chars and disable

}
What I'm asking now is, is there an equivalent fu

Hi All,
I have recently attempted to 'trap' spammers who use autofilling tactics on the
site at www.gwelanmor-internet.co.uk. This is written in html5 and uses a
mixture of simple tests to validate the form. However, yesterday I recvd a
