Despite some of the reactions about the stats collection that I posted the other day [1], I'm still curious and will continue to add to it. <humor><img src="wendy.jpg" alt="wendy gives everyone the raspberries"></humor> Today's addition: results of a bot that crawled the sites on the Media Metrix Top 500 site last summer to determine which technologies they employed. Results are: 79.9% of the sites use Tables 62.0% use JavaScript 38.2% use Imagemaps 20.6% use Style sheets 2.1% use ActiveX 1.1% use Java That's likely a lot of tables used for positioning. This data is from The Client-Side Conundrum by Ray Valdes (August 2000, Web Techniques) BTW - Currently, the browser usage and demographic stats that are listed in my collection are only for desktop users with some info on WebTV users, I'm anxious to collect info about mobile devices. FYI - I'm not actively pursuing this info but keep running into it and decided to document what I've run into - lest you worry that this exercise draws from my attention to the WCAG 2.0 work (although I think it's related). Thank you all and be well, --wendy [1] http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/2001/01/22-stats.html -- wendy a chisholm world wide web consortium web accessibility initiative madison, wi usa tel: +1 608 663 6346 /--
