Site
Why does this site look funny in my browser?
Every page of this site is intended to
validate to XHTML 1.0 Strict
and makes extensive use of cascading style sheet technology to apply presentation to the structured markup. There is no Flash to force a plug-in’s use and no tag soup using
<FONT>
to slow your download or confuse a screen reader or JavaScript to excite security concerns. Although it looks best in the latest Firefox and SeaMonkey releases for Macintosh and Windows, the site is intended to be navigable in, and all content available to, a variety of browsers on various OSes. The design of the site was routinely checked in Internet Explorer 6.0 on Windows XP but earlier releases or operating systems are no longer routinely consulted. Users of a real operating system are invited to give it a try, too. Telephones and PDAs are welcome. Users of Camino and Safari on Mac OS X should find their browsers rendering well enough. There is a style sheet for print, and site navigation tools for users of SeaMonkey and Opera.
Users of Microsoft Internet Explorer for Windows may, depending on their Internet security settings, also receive a message upon visiting the
Links page
about a script executing. The message is reacting to a JavaScript event handler in the links to external sites which would be executed only upon following the individual link (the
onclick
event handler is included to ensure that the home page of the external site does not open within a frame).
Browsers that understand emerging standards in the cascading style sheet language react to the rules of the type
a[href*=".tdl"]::after { content: url("images/td20_icon_14x20.png"); }
to display an icon after links to files of certain types (.doc, .pdf, .tdl).
There is no archive of previous versions of this page.
While the author of previous editions of this site was not always apparent, the webmaster from fall 2002 to 2004 was Constantine Hannaher (who resumed that role in March of 2005). The address webmaster@wamaltc.org is available if some aspect of the site design concerns you.
