[LUG] Web design: WAS Re: Supertramp



On Thursday 14 November 2002 12:29 am, Simon Waters scribbled:
the WWW original intent of platform neutral content is often
underestimated.

If it works in lynx, it works in any browser. It might not look pretty, but 
thats ok. 

For bonus points, validate with w3c - choose what version. Lynx doesnt do 
HTMLL 3, but that doesnt mean you cant. 

Stay away from content in javascript/java/flash, if you must have them, 
include a seperate text link. E.G. http://www.guild.ex.ac.uk has a dreadful 
drop down menu in javascript. Thats fine - however there is no other way to 
go to those pages in lynx. Frames are fine, the noframes section should have 
a link to the inner frames at least.

www.xtv.org.uk works fine in any html 1.0 compliant browser, doesnt look too 
bad in lynx either. However it looks very good (IMO ;) in moz/ie/konq.
