For users on OS X, Sim Daltonism is a fantastic tool.

16 A few more browsers

L is for Lynx, one of the most sophisticated browsers the web has ever seen. Lesser standardistas would have heard of Lynx, but would not have actually used it, as it requires using a command-line interface, and nobody (except for wild-haired geeks with hexagonal glasses) does that anymore. Greater standardistas would claim that no web site can truly call itself accessible until it has been tested on Lynx (by someone else, such as a lesser standardista).

N is for … um … what was that other browser? You know the one – nep … net … something or other. I could have sworn I knew its name in 1998; but now, when I try to recall it, the only thing that comes to mind is a tombstone, with these words engraved on it: this memory has been erased from your brain; for further enquiries, please contact Microsoft support. Oh well, I guess some things are best left to the past

17 KHTML

Konqueror was not the first to pass Acid2, but rather Safari. A KHTML developer was even [url=“http://www.kdedevelopers.org/node/1001”]quite miffed[/url] at the expectation that Konqueror would magically pass as soon as Apple released its changes. WebCore, the Safari rendering engine, is now a separate branch of KHTML.

18 I’m sorry, Jeffrey who?

Had a good laugh at this one. :) Nice job, Jack.

19 Konqueror

Konqueror and Safari both used the same rendering engine (kHTML), so distinctions between older version Safari and Konqueror are splitting hairs at best. Supposedly they’re re-converging now.

20 Funny - almost got me...

H for handcoding:
Let’s face it. Anyone who really wants a great standards-compliant website knows that without handcoding you’re just lost.
Design tools are there to help prototype page design etc… but for the finishing touch keep your “vi” handy.

M for Microsoft:
Microsoft is one of the greatest standard plattform out there. Let’s not forget this.
