JR, I just went in and did a Find in the HTML and put alt tags on the two spacers on the page. I feel like a genius. Now I realize I need to do that sitewide. It must be maddening to rely on alt tags and have some be anonymous and not know what they are.
JR, it's probably going to be a cold day in hell before I make it past the W3C validator. I tried both Bobby and W3C with dismal results. I go back from time to time (in my Voluminous Spare Time with all my Extra Energy) and peck away at it. You will all KNOW the exact time and day I ever pass this site through W3C. For my first trick, I do need to overcome my fear, paw through my "web tips" file for the advice folks here have given me and write that DOCTYPE statement. I'm about ready to start doing a CSS tutorial so I can add the font, something and something else CSS style indicators to my mix. (I can never remember the names of two of the three CSS labels/attributes/directions/tags NN 4.7 supports.) I've been putting this off for a loooong time. I need to make some content changes first (like updating the "What's New" page--or renaming it "MCCD--A Historical Perspective"). Before you even ask, I use NN 4.7 as my default browser, as does almost everyone else in what's laughingly known as my Real Life. I also, after consulting with a friend who works for Burlington Coat Factory, decided to do what they do and create the site for the lowest common denominator. If it's good enough for Burlington, it's good enough for me. I figure that way everyone (my boss, for one) can use the site. I'm not hindered by the boredom of repetitive tables--too busy trying not to drown in a sea of nearly incomprehensible technology--so that's not a factor for me. Finally, how very ironic that I, of all people, should be the person who asks an on-topic question. I'm sure my peers who now me over time are quite amused by this, as I often forget what list I'm on and zig when I should zag. I haven't a clue what they're discussing but I often hear terms like PHP, MySQL, ASP and .net bandied about. I think maybe you've come on board at a time in which other things have crept in. I don't understand most of them, either. Thank you for your advice. I totally love this list. Someday I may actually understand its content. Sherry "J.R.
