Bruce’s Journal - Scenic Route - brucew.com

<body> <ul> <i>Scenic Route</i> will look much better in a browser that supports web standards, but presently, it’s accessible to any browser or Internet device. Since you can see this text, you’re <b>not</b> using a standards compliant web browser. (This text is invisible to standards compliant browsers.) <p>Before the end of the year <i>Scenic Route</i> will be redesigned to strict compliance with the <a href="http://www.w3.org/"><u>World Wide Web Consortium’s</u></a> HTML 4.01, CSS 1 and CSS 2 standards. That means I won’t be doing non-standards compliant things to accommodate old browsers, like the one you’re using now.</p> <p>The goal is not to alienate visitors who remain enamored of their favorite old browser. The goal is to become accessible to even more visitors. After the redesign, <i>Scenic Route</i> will also work just fine on newer devices like the Palm Pilot, cell phones with built-in web browsers, and reading browsers for the visually impaired.</p> <p>In plain English, <i>Scenic Route</i> will be designed specifically for <a href="http://www.opera.com/"><u>Opera 5</u></a>, <a href="http://www.netscape.com/browsers/"><u>Netscape 6</u></a> and <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/ie/"><u>Internet Explorer 5 & 6</u></a>. All these browsers are sufficiently web standards compliant that <i><b>every</b></i> web site will look and work exactly the way its designers intended. And if you have a bug up your ass about Microsoft, you still have two non-Microsoft choices and several months to make a decision.</p> <p>For more information, visit <a href="http://www.webstandards.org/upgrade"><u>WebStandards.org’s</u></a> Browser Upgrade Initiative.</p>  <div align="center"> <table border="0" width="350"> <tr><td><a href="../contents.htm" target="_top" title="To the Journal Main Page" style="display: block;"><img src="images/sron192.gif" alt="To the Journal Main Page" border="0" align="left" width="219" height="132"><font size="6">Bruce’s<br>Online<br>Journal</font></a></td></tr> <tr><td align="center"><font size="2">“I write because I don’t know what I think,<br>until I read what I say.”</font><i><font size="1"> — Flannery O'Connor</font></i></td></tr> </table> </div>  <p>Beginning on Monday August 7, 2000, Scenic Route changed to a new format which uses frames. It appears, however, that your browser is an older one that doesn't support frames.</p> <p>The <a href="html/Journal_Archives_Frameless.htm">archives</a> from the older version of the site don't use frames and should work just fine for you.</p> <p>But why not simply upgrade your browser? Yours is at least five years old. The current versions of <a href="http://home.netscape.com/download/index.html">Netscape Communicator</a> and <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/">Microsoft Internet Explorer</a> can be downloaded for free. They support frames and all sorts neat new stuff. Choose the one you like. The new version of Scenic Route works just fine in either one.</p> <p>If you cannot or choose not to upgrade your browser, you can still enjoy 2½ years of the <a href="html/Journal_Archives_Frameless.htm">Journal Archives</a> which work just fine in browsers that don't support frames.</p> <p>E-mail me at <script type="text/javascript">  </script> if you have any problems, questions or concerns.</p> <p align="center"><font size="1">Copyright © 1998-2002, <script type="text/javascript">  </script>. All Rights Reserved.<br> Reproduction by any means, in whole or in part, is prohibited without express written consent.<br> Please don't copy my works.
