RE: [MLUG] Linux browsers & compatibility issues

["Nowlin, Dan" <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

I have not been out to the page but I do agree.  I started learning
HTML, ect about 7 years ago.  Notice I said LEARN HTML not a point and
click ap.  I think the requirement for a web development team should be
that you know HTML, CSS, ect and not the aps so you can create W3C
approved pages.
This campus has been a MS one for years.  When I started taking the IATS
HTML classes about 7 years ago, the instructors told me that I could
download the handouts from there website.  Well when I pointed my trusty
Amiga computers browser to the page I found out that all of the handouts
were in PDF.  The handouts did not have any graphics in them and could
have been done in text.

yea, i don't like to offend people (ok, well i actually do...) but it 
sounds like mu's web development team needs to update their skill-set. 
don't know why or who decided on coldfusion, but php/mysql(or postgre) 
and xhtml/css could have easily handled this type of web application. 
and, it probably would have saved them time, money and bandwidth - if 
done correctly.




note: everytime i reply to matt i end up missing the "list" and just 
sending him email...  :)
