Sherm, not all users are mac users! I've visited your site out of
curiousity, and pointed out the obvious. It was not meant as an attack just
as your comments were not meant te give me an answer to my problem.
"Unlike your misguided attempt to duplicate the wheel, the in-page select
box provides an option that the browser itself does not." ...nyeah, if only
it would work for what is still the most comon browser, lol. As for
reinventing the wheel, I'm not trying to... ...I could actually ask the
same, why is it that you provide several links up to three times if the user
could find it on one only?
Nevermind how you dress up a site, or which gimmicks you have, above all it
should remain functional and accessible and not just for your target
audience. When designing a site, eben if it would validate html4 strickt,
try to include crossbrowsercompatibility (IE, FF, ...whatever) and
accessability rules so everyone can enjoy the site. If as a designer (?)
you push aside these basics, you are in no possition to judge nor set the
limits on other peoples work or requests. Unless ofcourse they are Mac users
who don't give diddly about the rest of the world. ;-)
Kind Regards,
Steven
