To give you the biggest bang for your buck, 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 ...

Over the W3C-standards base, Saltmeadow often adds proprietary tags — like <embed>, <marginheight>, or <td background> — that are not recommended by the W3C but improve performance in some browsers without harming it in others. In addition, we currently use "deprecated" (outdated, formerly standard HTML) tags when they produce more reliable results in today's browsers than do the latest W3C recommendations.

The W3C is inflexible. We are not. Saltmeadow continuously analyzes markup options and frequently chooses to double up on page-source coding. When we double up, we code two ways of accomplishing the same thing: we insert both a world-standard HTML tag, which all standards-compliant browsers will read correctly, and a non-standard but beneficial HTML tag that the consortium may officially discourage but all popular browsers will either love or ignore. In that way, we make doubly sure your pages look good to your online visitors, regardless of which up-to-date browser they are using.

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.
