Climb to the Stars: To Hell With Bad Browsers

  • the shithead in santa rosa · 8 years ago
    I read the upgrade initiative, and then went to make my site compliant. All it took was one line, and a little "alt" tag. Now it's great according to the W3C validator. : )

    my site is viewable in ie, ns, opera and lynx, and according to my webalizer stats no-one else visits my site so...
  • sleepy · 8 years ago
    viewable meaning it looks the way it should, that is :p

    so...? what were you going to say, sleepy? That your site was already standards-compliant, or that it didn't need to be?
  • sleepy · 8 years ago
    oh, that my site is standards compliant. my html is, honestly, pretty poor, but breaking the odd rule has had no effect on the view various browsers see.
  • Tara · 8 years ago
    *puzzled* how can you break rules and be standards-compliant?
  • sleepy · 8 years ago
    haha! that was very late at night and quite a puzzling statement!
    i think what i meant was:
    browser developers actually design the browsers to deal with bad tags and such, being perfectly compliant isn't important (unless you're doing a test on html :p)

    oh. so in short you're saying all the fuss about standards doesn't make sense. Which is the opposite of what I'm saying. I say that being compliant is important.
