IE has the ability to read through flawed code and make a best guess at what it should be. Therefore if we have a discography page on our site, the end of which should technically read "/Dolby,+Thomas" but you code it slackly so it's "/Dolby, Thomas" without the +, IE will guess it right and take you there, but Netscape will throw a fit and give you a 404. Apparently Netscape is technically a much better tool because it doesn't 'cache' pages and will always refresh properly, but IE reads alot of material from cache, and therefore is not always too hot on page changes and updates. You can eliminate this problem by hitting Refresh while holding CTRL+SHIFT to do a full reload. What are our other web professionals' opinions on this old debate? the_copse - -----Original Message----- From: Brian Clayton [mailto:stemish@lns.com] Sent: 12 March 2000 19:20 To: alloy@smoe.org Subject: Re: Alloy: page question (OT) On Sat, 11 Mar 2000, Keith Stansell wrote: > I am now a web developer at KickStart.com (shameless plug) and have been > facing these types of issues all the time..

You might try running your website through http://validator.w3.org to see if it is compliant with the World Wide Web Consortium guidelines. If your pages are, for the most part, W3C compliant, then you can at least rest assured in the knowledge that the browser in question *isn't*. :) BC ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 13 Mar 2000 20:55:28 -0500 (EST) From: Chris Cracknell Subject: Alloy: Bride Of Webpage Just wanted to know what the status of the "Bride Of Aliens Ate My Birthday Cake" webpage is.

There's a gorgeous photo I've never seen before of Thomas, being auctioned @ eBay: http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=278967237 I WANT this photo but I'm too broke (the US/UK exchange rate doesn't work in my favor) ! But it deserves a fine home. One of Alloy's members may like to snap this one up. Robin T ------------------------------ End of alloy-digest V5 #63 **************************
