A test of some things I haven't had a chance to see for myself in the wild.

#!/usr/bin/ruby

class Greet
def initialize(name)
@name = name
end
def to_s
"Hello, #{@name}!"
end
end

hi_mom = Greet.new("Mom")
trad = Greet.new("world")
west_coast = Greet.new("sailor")

puts hi_mom.to_s
puts trad
puts "#{west_coast}"Ruby is my favorite OO language. :)

(Example made needlessly complex to show off OO functionality.)

Output:Hello, Mom!
Hello, world!
Hello, sailor!

Everything works. Mozilla is more standards-compliant than Opera, and it supports tabbed browsing. :D

True, but there's nothing standards-compliant about those vBulletin features you just tested.

Phoenix 0.5 is my latest browser of choice, and it does not display the "reply window" properly on preview. It looks fine intially, but gets all scrunch when i preview a reply.

Still, I like it a lot. No more damn popups!

Mars Horizon, that's how it's supposed to appear. Netscape does the same thing.

What's noncompliant about my examples?

Mars: Mozilla does the same thing, too: Mozilla, Netscape, Phoenix, Galeon, and some others all use the same rendering engine called Gecko. Gecko is designed to be a portable rendering engine multiple browsers can build on, so every browser has the same level of standards-compliance and base functionality. There is a lot of information about building a browser on top of Gecko at Mozdev (http://www.mozdev.org).

Derleth: They make heavy use of the deprecated Font tag.

Also, looking at the code, I see that the Img tag for the smiley has an attribute: alt="". While this does comply strictly, it sort of defeats the purpose of the alt attribute.
