To give you the biggest return on your dollar, our pages display well on all current versions of popular browsers — AOL, Microsoft Internet Explorer, Netscape Gecko,
Opera, Firefox, and others. And, despite changes in
browser design, our pages will continue to be legible far into
the future because our coding is world-standard and – unlike
many "web-in-a-box" fabrications – a benchmark for browser
manufacturers.
Except...
We continue to use tabling for layout. Tabling is still the only way to achieve the desired degree of vertical symmetry while allowing visitors to enlarge or shrink the size of the text on a given page. We also ignore the current CSS recommendation that background colors be specified for each font used (it is a recommendation that appears to have no practical value). Instead, we call for a font-specific backgound color only when we wish it to differ from the general document background. This gives us two benefits: it allows us to write shorter style sheets, and it allows us to overlay our text directly yet legibly on top of background images.
Please feel free to
validate any of our pages. Wherever you find an “error,” you can be sure it is intentional and included to ensure that the page looks good in current versions of every popular browser.
