Thread Name: Tech: Browser problem
Subject: RE: Tech: Browser problem
Hi all, I'm the guy who did Michaelr's Greenhouse web site. First of all I'd like to say thank you for all of your suggestions and ideas. As Michael says, I'm pretty much a novice at this. A hobbiest at best. I learned from a set of CD Rom's so I could put up a site for my own band. Any ideas I can get are always welcome. Secondly, as we can see from the reply's (misophist says you can't make browsers compatible and George Seto says yes you can but without Javascript or css. That looks kind of static to me), the question of browser compatiblility is far from answered. Note to Bill D. and Ed Guest; no, I did not use Front Page or any wysiwyg in the creation of the Greenhouse page nor any of my other pages. I believe that simple html is the way to go. Unfortunately, the browsers don't read the Javascript or CSS commands the same way. Which brings me to my third point. Anyone out there who knows differently , please let me know but I don't think that the W3C, the organization that maintains the development and standard of HTML, is in any way connected with microsoft. Like I say, please correct me if I'm wrong but why can microsoft build a system that is compatible with the W3C standard and the other browsers cannot. This is not a rhetorical question. What ever the answer is, I will endeavor to make the pages that I have put up on the web, compatible with all browsers. It only makes sense. Thank you one and all again! Chris
