About this site |
We welcome any suggestions about our website: information you'd like to see, design suggestions, or anything that seems appropriate. If you have ideas about content, please e-mail Stephen. I plan to add many new features in the upcoming days.
We wish to present a site that's clear and easy to use. To that end, we use web standards and underlying technologies as much as possible. For instance, our site is hosted at Kattare.com, which uses Java 1.4, Apache 2.0, and Tomcat 4.0.
In addition, all the HTML (the markup language used to produce the content you see) strictly adheres to the most recent standards, XHTML (the XML definition of HTML; we use the "transitional" variety) and CSS (Cascading Style Sheets):
The exception is in whatever pages present Flash. Flash relies upon <object> and <embed> codes which are non-compliant. However, this escape from grace is localized to these locations.
For the most part, I avoid ECMA Script (JavaScript), but have been known to use it upon occasion. It is, however, used in the Flash detection scripts.
A wonderful tool for determining if HTML is standards-compliant is to use HTML Tidy, now at Sourceforge.net , an open-source development resource.
