Memo from Martin P Burns of PricewaterhouseCoopers

-------------------- Start of message text --------------------

Hey, don't blame the standards, blame the software
companies who helped set them and then ignored them
in the implementation.

Although HTML4.01 is pretty good, with the slight workaround
of using tables for layout. Take a look at the evolt site - works
pretty much everywhere. As long as you're relaxed about it
looking *slightly* different[1] in different places, it's fine.

Cheers
Martin

[1] ie in the vast majority of cases, you'd only notice if you had
2 different versions of the site next to each other to compare. And
it still basically works everywhere else.

an excellent point martin

*dam - id have got away with it if it weren't for those peskie kids!

general public internet sites agreed - should developed for all to see.

but the stats speack for them selves - how long until we eventually make a
web standard which must form a base for browsers to be developed to?

*cough*accessibility*cough*

There aren't that many systems which truely need clientside
scripting to fulfil their core functionality (unless that functionality
*is* showing off the scripting, or games).

Public sites should pretty much always be able to deliver
their core functionality without JS, designer-specified CSS
or Flash.

Whizziness on top is encouraged. But it's on top of the core.

Cheers
Martin

i draw the line at people who don't have js enabled - if they disable it
they can dam well enable it again - they kow the risks - they understand
the
problems.

for those who don't have a decent enough broswer - point them in the rite
direction - get them enjoying the net instead of lumping around it like a
slightly intoxicated snail
