[ale] Websites

[Mike Millson]

The last I tried to use the XHTML standard (perhaps a year ago), all the
browsers choked on <img /> in some way. I think it caused a line return or
screwed up the format somehow. I think I was testing w/ NSN 6.1 and IE5.0,
so I think XHTML can cause problems w/ more than just NSN 4.x users. I think
it's more trouble than it's worth unless you have a reason for using it.
Internet users are not going to care one way or the other. Personally, HTML
4.01 Transitional is as far as I'm willing to go in my designs.

Having recently come off a freelance web redesign project, I fully agree
with using CSS, but I'd also recommend going with XHTML 1.0 Transitional
(newer browsers have new code to parse it), maybe putting in some
*standards-compliant* JavaScript for dynamic menus and other effects (while
making sure you have a way to make non-compliant browsers render your
menus and other content properly, and perhaps most importantly if your site
makes use of a lot of graphics, the GIMP. There's a book called *Grokking
the GIMP* from New Riders. It was very invaluable in dealing with the GIMP.
