The Next Big Thing?
I just read an article on a new technology called
radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags. Basically they are small stamp sized radio transmitters that do not require onboard power. (the receiver provides the power) Potential uses include allowing frozen dinners to automatically give instructions to microwave ovens, or letting your lost pair of glasses let you know that they've been left under the couch.

Suggestion
Hi,
In a spirit of helpfulness I suggest you use an HTML validator (like Doctor HTML) to check your coding. Hope my suggestion does you some good. Best, - Boyd |

Not sure what you mean Boyd, the link showed up fine on my end.

Re: Suggestion
Hi,
Netscape just displays a blank page. There are no head tags or meta tags, there are 22 document structure problems, there are 4 font errors, there are 2 table structure problems, there's 1 possible dead link, there are 8 browser support conflicts. Again, just trying to be helpful. AOL may start using Netscape browsing technology instead of MicroWhatever, so Netscape is still an important player. Hope this was helpful... Best, - Boyd |
Re: Suggestion
Thanks Boyd,
I thought you were talking about the link to the RFID tag site. I have not finished optimizing my site but I appreciate the heads up about Netscape. I will definately fix that asap. James |
Here are some things you might want to consider
Some of these are more important then others.
For example line #4: unknown attributes "TOPMARGIN" and LEFTMARGIN" for the BODY element are browser specific tags, and although a validator may reject them, there is nothing wrong with leaving these tags in place. Validators usually conform to the W3C guidelines -- unfortunately the companies who make the browsers do not always comply. Boyd must be using Netscape 4.x because using a GECKO based browser (K-Meleon, based on Gecko (the mozilla rendering engine) that powers Mozilla and Netscape 6.x) the page displays fine. The BIG problems for Netscape 4.x browsers will be the document structure such as BODY elements with missing HEAD elements, and the closing TABLE tags, which are a BIG "no-no" for Netscape 4.x. Overlaying FONT tags in the midst of other tags in multiple instances can also cause an eventual break down in Netscape 4.x because each browser only has a limited amount of error correction it can perform. Font tags have been deprecated which means it is one that has been outdated by newer constructs and a style sheet should be used to describe font properties. Netscape supports most of CSS1 and some of CSS2 but you can cascade style sheets with one displaying selectors, properties and values supported by Netscape 4.x and @import another one for browsers that have a better grasp of CSS2 properties. To get a better idea how to do this you might want to read my article Different Stylesheets for Different Browsers Hope this helps! Best Regards, Steve MacLellan homebusiness-websites.com |
I love stuff like this + I meant to thank you
Hi,
I meant to thank you for telling us about Crazy Browser. I use it all the time. I use Netscape 4.7 for my surfing where I want to sweep up my tracks afterward. For that I use NS Washer, and I even use Scorch to overwrite my swap file every time I restart. (I'm considering using a method where I can surf without being monitored by sites or by my ISP or by the Atty General, I'm really getting concerned about privacy issues and America is a strange country in certain ways.) I also use Netscape as a sort of initial page checker (I check all my pages with Doctor HTML which I believe I also heard about from you). Best, - Boyd |

Interesting. BTW, loved your tag line. Nice take off on the old Harry & David headline. I make it a practice to note the use of the "classics". Rick Smith, "The Net Guerrilla" |
Protecting your privacy....
Hi Boyd,
You may know about this already, but in case you don't.... Windows keeps a record of your web browsing history - even AFTER you've cleared your history and cache with Internet Explorer.... The article (below) explains this, and also tells you what you can do about it. (Be warned - there is strong language in the web site name, which some might find offensive.) - Dien Rice Microsoft's hidden files.... |
Thanks James.... fascinating article! (DNO)
