I thought you meant the website was built with a table-based layout and font tags or something like Flash or Java.
If your website is so plain as to look like something from the HTML 3.0 days, well, that's not too good either from the marketing/corporate image point of view... But without having seen the website in question it's hard to tell.
Viper23: apps are like onions. Donkey: They stink? Viper23: Yes. No. Donkey: Oh, they make you cry. Viper23: No. Donkey: Oh, you leave em out in the sun, they get all brown, start sproutin' little white hairs. Viper23: NO. Layers. Onions have layers. Apps have layers. Onions have layers. You get it? They both have layers. [sighs] Donkey: Oh, they both have layers. Oh. You know, not everybody like onions.
Actually, from what I've read, WebKit (rendering engine) is used by both Safari and Chrome (and I guess Android), but the javascript engine isn't the same.
So, for the (X)HTML and CSS, yes they should be the same. For the javascript, they are not.
Don't force users to have javascript to fill forms. Yes, if it's enabled then use it to validate the form data and avoid page loads, but also let the form without it, you need to validate the form on the server anyway.
You need to have something that works with the bare minimum, then if you want you can enhance it with Javascript.
Seriously, with even micro SD flash cards now in the 16GB range, and H.264 recording in ever-shrinking devices, banning laptops won't do anything.
Heck, even the latest version of the iPod nano can record video, and so can countless cellphones. And most of them probably have more than enough storage space to record a two hours movie.
Forget theaters: - You have to go there and then come back. Not fun in cold weather. - You're not even sure there's going to be tickets unless you buy in advance. - It's probably going to be over-crowded if it's the first days or even first weeks. - Floors will probably be sticky (spilled drinks) and messy (popcorn and candy everywhere). - Drinks and snacks are overpriced, double or triple the cost of everywhere else. - They force you to sit through about 15 to 20 minutes of ads. Hey, why did I just pay 10$? - The picture is not guaranteed to be sharp, not all places have switched to digital. Out-of-focus problems, etc. - Some dumbasses keep talking during the movie. Especially idiots who keep asking "what's going on?" (yeah Jerry I'm talking about you). - Other dumbasses like to use the back of your chair as a leg workout machine. - You can't pause the film to go to the bathroom. And just because you go before it start (if you even can) doesn't mean you won't need to go in the middle of a two-hours movie.
Forget about that kind of "experience"...
I have a TV, a computer and a fast internet connection. I can stay home, rent a movie, download it and start watching before someone could even get in line at the theater to buy their ticket. And my drinks and snacks were bought with the rest of my groceries, so the whole deal costs under 10$ for the movie, drinks and snacks for four persons instead of 20$ per person (assuming 10$ of snacks, which is extremely easy to bust given their prices).

What do you need a hummingbird for?
What do you mean? African or european developers?
Everybody is unique.
A movie can't think.
Dude, where's my car?
So, we're back to a joystick interface for 50% of the units?
If they plan on requiring the Wii Fit Board for "Metroid: Other M", then count me out. I wouldn't even be able to reach the morph ball area.
What do you mean? An african or european grandma?

Do you mind giving us the URL?
Extremely bad. For mobile, for usability and for indexing.
Court room typist: How do you spell "DooDoo Head"?
Except that now the big companies are buying all the smaller companies. Telebec, for example, is now part of Bell Aliant.
So the monopoly is coming back, except this time the CRTC seems to be turning a blind eye.
It's not hard. It's just that not only are a lot of Web developers lazy, a lot of them use WYSINWYE tools.

I think you forgot the "Use CSS as it was meant to be used, and stop using javascript [...] where (it is) unnecessary" part.
Slashdot is a mess. Authors should be ashamed.
In your face, Flat Earth Society!
Hey, it's George...
I got nothing to say.

Troll? I see somebody needs to view a certain episode of Seinfeld...
Oh yeah? Well, I slept with your wife!

Oh, I dunno... China has time machines?
