Things like this: http://news.cnet.com/news/0-1005-200-7660935.html are why Tantek and Chris often get such disrespect on this list. "But, Visse warned, "the experience may be slightly degraded simply because they don't support the standards we support closely, as far as the HTML standard in those browsers." Currently, using the most recent browser from Mozilla.org to reach MSN.com brings a message from Microsoft saying it has "detected that the browser that you are using will not render MSN.com correctly." Mozilla.org does open-source browser development for AOL Time Warner's Netscape Communications unit. Visse said earlier Thursday that the message would be shown to people using "browsers that we know don't support (W3C) standards or that we can't insure will get a great experience for the customer." W3C refers to the World Wide Web Consortium, which is developing industry standards for Web technologies. " Here's a screenshot of the message: http://www.dylanschiemann.com/images/msnRejectsMozilla.png I'm really curious which standards mozilla and opera supposedly don't support when msn doesn't even validate correctly and is therefore not "standards compliant": http://www.dylanschiemann.com/examples/msnValidation.html I know, this is probably off-topic, but it seemed relevant in light of all the recent discussion about building a fully css compliant browser. -Dylan Schiemann http://www.sitepen.com/ http://www.dylanschiemann.com/ __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
