Re: Suppressing carriage return in a form action??

Kayjey,

I can't agree enough with what you say. The web is a confusing enough place
without messing about with the few standards we have. Other things to add to
the list: status bar messages that obscure the URL etc, launching new
windows to break the back button, making it difficult to tell the difference
between visited and unvisited links by silly colour choices,  and so on.

You might find my sites annoying, but I hope not (at last on usability
grounds) - and if I was really worried, I wouldn't give the URL in my sig, I
guess <G>

BTW - Have you seen http://superbad.com and
http://wackyadvice.com/bud/home.html

>I don't think it's considered our job to break functions.  There's some
things that I find annoying on sites:

in order of "annoyingness"

- - popups when you enter/leave a page
- - right-mouse button disabled (don't worry, I'll get to the code another
way)
- - sound (well... noise)
- - bad navigation
- - being forced to grab the mouse after typing something (forms not
submitting when I press enter, etc...)
- -...

Maybe I'll once write a book about annoying websites.
Please inform me if you have an annoying site.<

Kind regards,

Lois Wakeman
