Re: Netscape 6 bashing

I agree with this.  NN6 obviously needs work...that's not in
question.  However, I have to wonder how much of the broken site
problem lies with invalid coding.

Code to the Recommendation, then to the browser.  First make sure
your document validates, then add browser-specific stuff if you
need it.  Sure, today's market makes this hard...but tomorrow's
market is only a few months away and the next day's market will be
here in 2002.  This is a marathon, not a sprint, and we'll be
working with major changes every few months for a long time
yet...best not to write off completely tomorrow's software just
because some of yesterday's code doesn't work in it...:).

The problem you mentioned is not exactly the problem in
discussion.

Most of the sites on the net are not standards compliant. Easy was
for most
is to put up a button saying, "NN6 is Bad!" But, NN6 is the future
of things
to come. There's no going back. Wait, till IE comes up with the
next
generation browser. I heard IE developers are not interested in
backward
integration.

That will be lots of fun!

If anyone is interested, please check this site out in NN6.
http://www.spinner-scripts.com/ This site is graphically rich and
perfect
coding. (Please Note: Most of the perfect coded sites are just
basic sites.
They don't have incredible graphics)

The solution to your problem is to write to the webmaster of your
bank and
send them a link to w3.org. :)
