I'm going to redo each and every one of my tutorials. They're so crappy, they're ones you find all over the net so I'm sure you won't miss them. I've learnt loads of stuff I can put up from my web classes, stuff that's NOT how to make an iframe/make flashy text effects etc.
Yeah.
Gonna work on that soon enough. When I have less work to do.

More ranting about IE

[EDIT] Heh, got my XHTML 1.1 working regardless of IE6... Ha! Pwned! Or something. [/EDIT]

I didn't want to jump on the whole 'I hate Internet Explorer' bandwagon, but... the more I try to do with this site, the less it wants to co-operate.
Microsoft, update your browser's CSS support already. (Amongst other things, but that's where we're finding the most problems).

Yeah, so the date thing (the green thing that says what the date is, you know...?) used to appear badly in every browser except IE6, so I decided to change it... now we got the problem the other way round. Does anybody know if there's a way to use a different style sheet depending on browser? I guess there isn't otherwise this would solve all the net's problems, however I'll ask anyway cos I'm too lazy to look for myself :P

Also rated this site on the WCAG's Accessibility Guidelines (twas an assignment for my web lecture)... I thought it'd fail miserably (I didn't really design it with accessibility in mind, it was kind of made for fun) but surprisingly it passes all Priority 1 guidelines and most of 2 and 3. The only things that it messed up was use of colour and image-mapping, but I'm working on that... I hate the manual image maps so methinks I am going to test stuff for using CSS and stuff. Don't want to use Javascripts and the like because they're not always enabled on some people's comps and all that.
Need to fix that cam image transparency in Mozilla. Used to have it working but changed the script and now no longer works. Ack.

Want to test this site on more browsers. Might partition my hard drive and install Linux to see what that makes of this here page.
Or go on browsercam again. Flubbbbb.

Bleh. Boring technical entry that probably interested nobody.

IE is annoying.

Grrrrrr. I officially hate Internet Explorer.
My entire site validates as XHTML 1.1 and works... in all browsers except MSIE6. So I have to keep it at XHTML 1.0 (strict) until Microsoft finally realise they need to update their browser. It might have 93% of the market, but it has nowhere near 93% potential. I have no idea why they don't update it, if they still want to be market leader they have to be the best, right?
Well, they're not... simple as that. The only reason anyone uses IE is cos it's built into Windows. I highly doubt people would use it otherwise.

Aaaanyway. Enough rambling. I'm not that fussed about my coding anyway... No... Well, not really.
*Cough*get firefox*cough*

Hmmmmm did I say that? XD
