Re: OT: Stop IE
There is really a US law about website access for disabled people? Is it just zoomable, scalable text or something more?

Re: OT: Stop IE
Yep, web content has to be equally accessible to individuals with disabilities. Including blind individuals. It provides the mechanism for these “individuals” to collect civil damages, which is where the legal establishment stepped in. The intent was to improve access; the result has been the skimming of much cash.
Every site has to be completely viewable by adaptive software such as JAWS. It can be a real pain when writing code by hand.

Re: OT: Stop IE
I've been using Firefox for a year or two now, and I'm very happy with it. I haven't had any problems.  |

Re: OT: Stop IE
I have been using Firefox for a while now. I can't live without tabs. It's really nice and easy to add-on. The skins are fun to play with also. Pop-ups are rare and I didn't even have to install any add-ons for that! I've had no technical problems from it at all which is rare for my hodge-podge PC. I don't hate IE, I just love Firefox.
[EDIT] I just ran my website through the validator. It was full of errors! I had no idea! It's true about Frontpage. Unfortunatly I am horrible at manual HTML coding. Is there a better program for creating websites that won't have so many errors? I want to make sure my site is bug-free.

Re: OT: Stop IE
Bah, all this talk of IE v. Firefox et. al., it is complete nonsense. There is only one true way to browse the internet, read mail or news, use the shell, or in general, do anything at all. And that way, friends, is EMACS.
