I'm sorry, I cannot agree, Ray. Even if a page contains 100% valid
HTML and 100% valid CSS, there is no cast-iron guarantee that it
will render as expected (or repeatably) in any real-world browser,
simply because of the possibility of as-yet-undiscovered bugs in
the latter. As soon as you also factor in invalid HTML and invalid
CSS, the probability of successful rendering drops to near-zero,
and the probability that it will render the same on two consecutive
iterations also falls significantly below unity, which may well
explain what is happening at the moment.
Complain loudly and bitterly to Google. They claim to be
in favour of web standards, and are amongst those responsible
for the [offensive phrase deleted] known as HTML 5. In reality,
even the most basic check :
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http://www.google.co.uk/
reveals 37 putative errors and 2 putative warnings, which is
a pretty sad indictment of an organisation that started so
well and on which many of us depend.
I agree, but IE9 shows alsways the google-bar next time.
I have explained the problem to the webmaster, i have furnished him then
IE9 screenshot, because i am never been able to show the problem with SM.
Most of the time, webmaster don't care about the validator. And if you
told them, they are unable to correct the errors, perhaps, and because
they use a tool to contruct their site, and they cannot use notepad to
modify a generated imbroglio.
