Finally, I have admitted that I am too lazy to hand-code my web site. Tinkering with the ins and outs of XHTML, JavaScript, and CSS, is for people whose day jobs aren’t brightened by these troublesome technologies. Anybody sane enough to still be interested in cross-browser web page design deserves my deepest respect, because having to put up with Internet Explorer’s shocking standards non-compliance is enough to make anybody contemplate the evils of pure Macromedia Flash or image-based site design.
