Ahem. Where do I find this miraculous MSIE6 software that makes websites look so good? And what is this mysterious javascript thingeee? Does it run in Linux? Is it safe to run? Will it infect my computer with those virus thingeees I keep hearing about? I don't know....it's just a website, there are others....
Ho well… This will be off topic…
I placed that msg in the intro page of my site not with the intuit of promoting the
miraculous MSIE6 over all browsers! In fact I placed that there for several and different reasons…
1. Users utilizing Opera web browser seem to have some display/navegation problems with my site…
2. Those problems are perhaps related with the way my site is coded…
3. The way my site is coded is a result of what I learned in my free times and a result of the site's interface I would like to develop… yes, some people do not like frames and javascripts. I respect it as I hope other peoples respect my design choices, capabilities and limitations.
4. The javascripts I use are: a simple one to load two pages at the same time in different frames, the javascript for the chat window and the one for the counter (I think that I’m not forgetting any). If you want I can publish the code so you can see that there are not any hidden malicious intentions… The rest of the site is just composed by frames, simple html and style sheet
5. Returning to browsers issue and operative systems: I sometimes visit my site with an older version of Netscape and using Unix. I know that I still need to resolve some display issues but the site works well. I do plan to install a newer version of Netscape to see more frequently how my site looks like with other browser than MSI6 (most of my visitors use MSI5-6 or Netscape4-7). I do know that Armagetron community uses other operative systems and browsers: sorry if I offended your feelings!
6. But until I install Netscape (and no, I will not install more browsers) and although I do realize that the message you inserted in the quote seems amateur and perhaps bad taste for some html purists I decided to post it anyway, again, not as an
“MSI6 rules and is the most powerful magic in the Universe” but instead as an
“I’m sorry, but I have limitations for what I can do managing/building websites and, at least while that msg is online, I can only guarantee that you will see exactly what I see here if you use MSI6”…
7. And yes, I also know that rules and standards for html editing exist but I have to choose: do I spend more time learning how to do one site that looks wonderful in every system and browser available and do all by the books or do I make what I know and spend other time developing addons and, yes, playing (forgetting for a moment issues from real life)? As you can see I prefer the second option. All a matter of choices...
8. Last: yes, it is just a website and there are many others around: if you want to visit my site, be my guest; if you do not want to visit it, be my guest also. I will upload in the original post of this thread the direct download link for LIGHT CITY v0.4: you do not need to visit my site if you feel uncomfortable doing it. (this supposing that you would like to play with LIGHT CITY)
9. English is not my mother language: I spend some time writing posts… more time than an English speaker… time I could have used today to finish, zip and upload LIGHT CITYv0.4… not sure if it will happen today… not sure if it will happen tomorrow due to time constraints...
10. I’m here just to have fun and contribute in what I can for the community!
