[00:04] Takyoji: they are most likely correct (IE8 is largely standards-compliant ;) ) [00:05] so what they mean is: "Your browser is standards compliant, our site is not, so we both are incompatible" [00:18] Heh [00:19] Because I'm a web developer/designer, and it's not really all that hard to make a website standard compliant. Myself, 17 years of age, self-taught. [00:19] XHTML 1.0 Strict valid websites [00:20] Yet companies out there fail to even pass HTML 4 Transitional and claim to be "professional" (just like everyone else) [00:21] I think I'm eventually going to write my own web crawler in PHP to check over my websites for errors (spelling, syntax error, missing pages, etc). xP [00:22] * Takyoji curiously wonders what the browser usage statistics of this group of individuals would be. [00:23] Otherwise I actually guess the browser he was using was Internet Explorer 7. [00:48] Takyoji: writing a website that XHTML 1.0 Strict *and* works in all browsers isn't so easy though... [00:49] at least, if you want to do fancy things [01:01] Yea, it was quite tricky to deal with the shadow part of the Aqua Eden website without things like PNG and so forth. [01:01] But luckily it's completely valid and renders almost the exact same in all top browsers: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Faquaeden.com&charset=(detect+automatically)&doctype=Inline&group=0 [01:02] Just wish I could just redo it with something simpler since the part of adding shadows to each box takes like 3 or 4
tags for one box. [01:03] It's probably people that make IE-only websites are "trained professionals" that just learned "web design" from high school. :P [01:04] It's pathetic, at my high school, the teacher just has them do only HTML, no CSS, tags, just copy/pasting JS without knowing what it does, using proprietary tags like , and a list of other things. Luckily I'll be making the materials that will be used next year. [01:05] And when I told him that tag isn't a real tag in the definition, he just had everyone use the
tag instead (and without closing it of course, and not within a
    or
      ) [01:09] But, that's just typical high school "web design" I suppose. [01:50] I'm wondering if my verbosity is irritating at all in this channel to anyone. === smeag0l is now known as smeg0l === beuno_ is now known as beuno === beuno_ is now known as beuno [21:20] Hey everyone, did you get my email on the mailing list? [21:21] Did anyone get my email? [22:04] Hi everyone [22:06] Hello [22:06] did anyone get my email? [22:07] Yes, it was received (I'm subscribed to the mailing list) [22:08] Feedback on the idea? Suggestions for projects? [22:08] I am still here by the way [22:08] Alright [22:09] feedback on the idea though? [22:09] I'll see if I can generate any ideas [22:09] thanks [22:10] I think that if we put our minds to it, joining up with the students could get loads more users [22:12] we just need a good campaign behind it
