That seems counter productive. Do your > scripts only work for certain browsers? No. I created a little miniscule dumping ground for some useful scripts *I* use, and if someone else can use them, then feel free. I don't support them. I don't even pretend to maintain them once posted. They are what they are. > --------------- > > >As for my site. > > > >[*] I really don't care about the fringe browsers... > > That obvious. But what happens when your client's do care? I make 6+ figures and have so for years. I'm not a freelancer. My experience, networking and resume get me jobs, not my home page.

I won't get into an OS war with you though. XP is the best OS thus far. Everything in the world supports it. It is stable and fast. As for browser, I use FF for developing (mostly for Firebug) and some flavor of IE (usually all three to test with) as that is what most people still use. IE6 is still the standard default browser Panasonic uses (that's 5000 users alone). Many other large enterprise companies also stick with XP/IE6. Only slowly are they migrating to IE8. > --------------- > > >As for CSS, inline styles, separation of logic, and all that > other stuff > >you ASSUME I don't use -- you are very wrong.

Just saying that while you see "inline" JS or CSS, it's actually not as it appears. Some of that is generated in routines or loops. > The point is that you want us to go to your site to check-out/provide > scripts, but the site you provided reeks of bad code.

If you want it, then the least you can do is use the required browsers (which mostly everyone has already installed) to get to it. In fact, if you're such a die-hard Safari user, just change your USER_AGENT string and it will probably work.

Again, you seem to think I give a flying fig about my PERSONAL PAGE RANKING. In fact, I'm happy to have it live in obscurity and only for those that I want to see it as it has some personal information, it keeps me under the radar of hackers, and it allows me to share with friends and family without exposing too much to the world. Your numbers are mistaken: http://www.prchecker.info/check_page_rank.php Sperling.com is 5/10 Daevid.com is a 2/10 Ancientstones.com is 2/10 Earthstones.com is 2/10 And Alexa ranks: 143,591 http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/sperling.com 6,093,223 http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/daevid.com 7,424,118 http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/earthstones.com 16,097,191 http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/ancientstones.com So people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones -- Ancient or Earthen... (And I'll even say congratulations on that sperling.com ranking. It's impressive to be that low.) > At least my sites have traffic.

Again. Don't care how many visitors I get to my personal site. I'm not selling ad banners, so all visitors do is bog down my server and bandwidth. If I could restrict traffic to ONLY those I wanted to see it, I would. > Daevid -- after all is said and done, I know you are better than > this. I'm not sure why you are arguing the point. I'm not sure either. In fact, you're right. I *am* better than this. And for the same reasons I won't bother to update my personal site anytime soon for 10% of the entire fringe browser market, I have more important things to do with my time -- like my day job or spend it with my family and friends. > Cheers, > > tedd -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
