One size cannot fit all. With defaults come a means to change them to suit user needs. It should not bother you that some don't know this or don't use it. > Is it my fault, that the designers of > browsers after about 10 years of webstandards are not able to produce > browsers which behave according to those standards? I don't think so. The newest and best ones do behave according to standards quite well, if not perfectly. > So I think instead of spending a mayority of our time in finding > solutions for problems, which are not caused by us, we should collect > our energy to put presure on browser designers to produce browser which > are standard Are you sure web page designers aren't causing problems? I suggest you don't know, but can find out a lot if you want. The open source Mozilla project, makers of Firefox, Camino and Mozilla Suite software, has several places where you can learn what they are doing, why they are doing it, and what users and page authors complain or rave about. I don't know about what M$ is or isn't doing, but I do know that the makers of Safari, Gecko and Opera do their best to produce browsers designed to work well within the defined standards, and still work as well as possible with M$'s undefined "standards". Don't forget, a browser is a USER AGENT, not a web page author agent. It's purpose is to meet the needs of the user first, and web page authors secondarily. -- "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof..."
