    Care to elaborate on that?

    On bugs in FF Mac?  Start with the rendering woes.  Scrollbars can
    bleed through absolutely positioned elements for one.  Flash movies
    have similar problems.  [...]

    Thanks, I'll keep that in mind.
    Other than those sorts of things, apps cross over to Mac pretty well
    in FF. I spent years without a Mac and now that I have one, I am
    pleased to see that most of my stuff runs perfectly on FF Mac, as well
    as Safari. I will never buy a PC again, that is for sure. I hate
    that guy.

    To be fair, it was something similar to XHTML in the first place, so the

    That depends.  And you don't know how it is being served in this case to

    Are you incapable of expressing yourself in prose? :(

    And BTW, you reversed yourself on the whole "user action" argument
    here. Leave it alone.

        I did not write that.
        Why not use it ? It seems to work just fine to me.
        Yes, it only seems to be so.
        I won't go into detail about this, but in my experience I found it to
        be much easier to work with. Maybe I just like my work to be more
        "stricter and cleaner" ?
        Or maybe you just didn't know what you are doing (as if that wasn't obvious
        since you had no Valid markup in the first place) because yours is a classic
        wannabe's argument. Serving XHTML 1.0 as text/html is not stricter or
        cleaner in any sense in the end than serving Valid HTML 4.01 in the first
        place. There are benefits in doing the former on the Web, but they are
        certainly not located client-side.
        Can you provide any relevant documentation that supports your
        arguments ?
        I, among others, have done that repeatedly already. STFW.

        Good to hear. I've got my hands on a MiniMac for now, and I can
        confirm it works in FF 3.0.3. Still no luck with Safari (version
        3.1.2) though.
        I can test it tomorrow.

        Looks like at least partially you do know because you did not repeat the
        mistake of removing the attribution here. You should read it again to find
        out the rest; sorry, this just isn't Usenet 101.
