Why oh why are there Netscape Haters to rival the Sailor Moon critics ?? I
*like* the Netscape add-on's, and most other browsers will just ignore the
other stuff and display it anyway. So it doesn't look as pretty, but it's
still readable !!
I've just ressurrected good ol' Mosaic and gone to Lanzer's page, and the only
complaint I have is that all his images are JPG's, which Mosaic doesn't
support, and I don't think Image formats supported is defined in HTML, is it ??
You can always configure an external viewer.
So if he made 'em GIF's, then the page would still be good, even without the
alignments, the background, and the table layout.
I used to be neutral, but I've seen so many Netscape haters that they're
pissing me off !! I mean, I saw one guy who was really mad about the <CENTER>
</CENTER> structure, because it was non-standard !! SMEG !! Even Lynx supports
it !!!!
>Why should I bother? I don't and won't use Netscape.
I can't see why you don't. If you're making a public statement, it won't work.
Netscape is IMHO the best browser, and not JUST because of its non-standerd
features.
Just my Y4 worth ...
Oh, and :
Nice page Lanzer !! Love the intro ... When I followed it from the Sasami
shrine, I didn't get it, and this was after you told me you were doing a
Ryouko shrine ... ^_^
