Well, this "minor" detail prevents the W3C validator to evaluate the page. It specifically calls for a DOCTYPE line at the beginning. As for us Opera users: The FAQ does work with Opera 6.01 (and it worked with 5.12 and 6.0), it is just a bit clumsy because the navigation is seen twice. The lower part of the window works. About the design ... well, please don't get me wrong here. I am not dwelling on the sites aesthetics (as in looking good) but it's usefulness. The FAQ is not that easy to read or even navigate (sorry). One problem is the alternating colour from line to line. Although I know the page, every time I see it this confuses me to think that blue lines are active and lines without colours have yet to be written. The main point is not so much Marck's appreciated effort to write up a good FAQ, but the lack of a good (PDF?) documentation of a programme as complex as TB!. To end on a more constructive note, from all the resources on this list, we must be able to come up with something satisfying on documentation. Although I have to admit that it is not that easy since those of us capable of writing up a documentation are all professionals with not much time to spend. And we make a living by writing such things. With TB! we are not talking of an OpenSource project which is maintained by and for the good will of the users. BTW, if anyone wants to check, my sites (see below) won't validate either. But they are shown with all browsers I've seen (Netscape 4.7 on a Mac, Opera from 5.12 to 6.01 and IE from 5.0 to 6.0) the same. The main problem is the monitor size - I've written those pages on a big monitor so certain pages do look a bit funny on smaller ones (especially certain layout dependent poetry). -- Dierk Haasis http://www.Write4U.de http://Interest.Write4U.de/pongo PGP keys available: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?Subject=SendMyPGPkeys The Bat 1.54 Beta/39 on Windows 95 4.0 1212 C Don't believe all you hear, spend all you have or sleep all you want. -- ________________________________________________________ Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Vers: 1.53d FAQ : http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com
