In case you haven't heard of the Opera web browser, here is the URL http://www.operasoftware.com/ The designers aim at actually adhering to html standards. This is in rather stark contrast to the two leading web browsers which add proprietary enhancements (to gain competitive advantages in the marketplace,) which lead to incompatibilities which lead to flamewars in the web design communities ... ;-)) Opera has received rave reviews in the expert community, but it has not captured significant marketshare (yet?) since it is _not_ free like the two leading web browsers. I have not used Opera yet, but it should serve well as a calibration tool, better than the two leading web browsers, better than html editors (most of which try to render well in the two leading web browsers rather than adhering to the html standards.) html checkers (such as the excellent and relatively bias free one in BBEdit) are all text based, and Opera should serve well as the visual complement to html checkers. I don't work for Opera BTW, but I like very much what they are doing, addressing root causes (rather than symptoms) of the problems that we see on the web (and in aaa ;-)) these days. I hope for the Opera designers that they will succeed commercially as well. ========================================================= [] [] [] (\ /) Visit the Gallery of the 'steins!
