Anyone has his own business on here... ?

[MattF]

Bored today Matt?

Nah, just read the thread and noticed the sites. You know I can't resist being anal. By god, I've tried, but I just can't.

What effect do the errors have on viewing? I'm only asking as the site seems to work fine, just wondered what these 61 errors mean......

They work fine Matt. You're just being an arse.

They appear to display fine in general mainstream browsers, yes. However, the simple fact that the code isn't clean doesn't guarantee that they will always display correctly in any browser. It is merely that most browsers have a 'b@stardisation' mode where they interpret what they see and take a best guess at what it should be. You can't guarantee that will be anywhere near correct. Coding correctly takes away that level of interpretation, so that you know exactly how the site should display across all browsers, (exempting I.E).

In all honesty, (and this ain't intended as a dig at you or anything Toby), the purpose of hiring a professional in any trade is for the simple reason that they should know their trade from thread to needle and be able to achieve a perfectly finished product. Not for them to chuck something together which you could achieve yourself.

An arse I may be. If one offers a service however, one should provide perfection and nothing less. If you can't, you're in the wrong job. The standards are there for a very good reason.

[MattF]

but as long as it works I don't give much of a %$**%...

That is the problem, however. That is still why we have sites today that look a complete bag of sh1t or don't perform correctly in anything other than I.E. The situation should be improving, not continuing, especially when you are supposedly providing the service. You are supposed to know better than the person who hires you.

as much as u are being an arse I have to admit u are 101% right..
I am sorry and will clean up my act..

It will be better now tho seen as I have my little brother now devoted to the website side of things..

And like I said before that means I can concentrate on what I am actually good at:

graphic Design, Print and Pc & Laptop repairs..

Have the workshop nearly setup and ready now....
I'll leave the websites to my professional brother....

But hey I do apologise to you....

[MudSurfer]

Are we substituting exception with exemption this week?

[MattF]

But hey I do apologise to you....

I wasn't meaning it in any bad way or such. An apology is completely unrequired. I just tend to see a fair few sites which suffer problems due to browser incompatibility with code, or just due to generally sloppy code, so know what the visible type of effects can be. I was just trying to point out that it can have detrimental effects, nothing more. My apologies if you interpreted it as a dig or suchlike.

It was less to type.

[POPEYE]

It's the same number of letters (had to count it a few times to make absolutely sure)

Well, you've made it so I'm going to end up typing more to explain now. Using exempting, it is a simple case of typing 'exempting I.E'. If I had used exception, it would have ended up being 'the exception being I.E' or 'I.E being the exception'. So, less to type.

But now I've made you type all that out - I win!

does it matter??

[fatfires]

sh1t wonder what he thinks about my site?

[Sancho]

Excepting IE would have been the same. IE excepted would have been less.

You're getting weak old man.....
