IMO if you're developing a new site you should conform to *current standards* -- there's no logic in wasting time on compatibility with NS4's DOM (which, from my bad, most recent experience with it buggy as hell anyway) -- write your site according to standards such as XML, HTML, XHTML, CSS, ECMAScript and DOM Level 1. All of these provide you with enough tools to do anything you want to in a web site. > Using CSS is it in standard? You should use W3C's CSS Level-1 or higher standard. > Using XML files with Browser-side translation is in standard? XML itself is a standard. Client-side parsing depends on the browser. I don't know if Netscape 7 has a client-side XML/XSL parsers with it. Most of the time you can get off with using server-side transforming. You should set a version number from which you want your site to support -- Netscape 6 or 7 & MSIE 5 would be a good, logical choice. > What is JavaScript version is standard? The standardized version of JavaScript is ECMAScript 262. > I'm adore lynx. Am I fit into standards? Lynx supports only HTML. I use it too on one of my boxes, and I like using it. Surprisingly enough it handles most sites with no big problems. As long as there's a way to navigate through your site without seeing the pictures (adding an "ALT" description will do) and without using client-side scripting, the site could be used basically with Lynx. > The Majority dictating standards. So, standards accepted 7 years ago, are they > relevant today for new majority? What standards? HTML -- yes. CSS -- yes. Netscape 4's DOM - now. MSIE4's DOM - no. The later two were never standards -- they were competing technologies, from which the DOM level 1 standard was born. ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
