  1. Re:Not just the Events module... on Quiz Microsoft's IE Team Leader · · Score: 1

    It's useful to know the difference between an element and a tag. The tbody element is required, however the <tbody> tag is optional - the HTML parser is allowed to imply that the tbody element is present if it sees a <tr> without a <thead>, <tbody> or <tfoot>. The DOM, however, works directly on the document element tree and doesn't get that luxury.

    This tool seems to let you improve your score on the first (and less important) part of the process.
    No, this tool helps you pick the best wording/image/layout for AdWords landing pages - i.e. the specific pages you buy AdWords links to. It's unrelated to your search results

    Not surprisingly, the countries with fastest growth are the 'emerging nations.'
    Not surprisingly, a term is defined by its definition

    Huh?

    So, any positive fact is shameless promotion, and any negative fact is playing to the Slashdot demographic?

    Good to know you're not just out to pick a fight.

    Mmm, the XHTML 1.0 standard says that you may serve documents as text/html, as long as they follow appendix C

    I hope you're following the Fragment Identifiers section of Appendix C:

    In XML, URI-references [RFC2396] that end with fragment identifiers of the form "#foo" do not refer to elements with an attribute name="foo"; rather, they refer to elements with an attribute defined to be of type ID, e.g., the id attribute in HTML 4. Many existing HTML clients don't support the use of ID-type attributes in this way, so identical values may be supplied for both of these attributes to ensure maximum forward and backward compatibility (e.g., <a id="foo" name="foo">...</a>).

  7. Re:I used to care on A Browser War Preview · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately ACID2 is useless as a test because it focuses on IE rendering problems. There are lots of issues in the test which are very unlikely to crop up in most web pages, similarly there are quite a few issues in other browsers which pop up quite regularly (although people ignore those because "Firefox must be doing it right")

    The point is that ACID2 is nothing more than a way for geeks to point at IE and laugh. Sure, IE isn't a nice browser to work with or code for, but at least let it lose a fair summary rather than a biased one.
