However, most of my designs never need ECOs {;-)

That just means they didn't stay in production long enough. Right now
I've got a problem with a connector I designed in, in 1996. The maker has
"impoved" them or maybe its because the guy who knew when to kick the
machine retired.

Yesterday, I had an issue with a CD4000 part designed in in 1978. The
smooth handling of ECR-ECOs is an important part of any system.

I think I'll just retire before the lead free mess hits. :)

My favorite example of bad HTML coding (so far):
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http://www.floridatoday.com 613
errors

Validator is VERY picky. But it's best to eliminate as many errors as
possible. I run the ISCE web site using Dreamweaver, which is also
super-critical. It flags errors that I can't possibly do anything about.
Most of them are about incompatibility with Opera 2, but I don't know
anyone who uses that. So, if any Opera 2 user likes to tell me whether
they have problems with any of the ISCE pages, I would be grateful.

So who does your web mastering?

I do mine strictly a cappella with FrontPage, no professional help at
all, just pasting-in new items as they come up.

BTW, I've found copies, or scanned-in, data sheets for my standard
(commercial) product designs.

I have yet to decide what else is publishable without NDA conflicts.

Well, since w3c.org is The WorldWide Web Consortium
(the guardians of the HTML standard),
you either are in compliance or you are generating quasi-HTML.

...incompatibility with Opera 2
You have it backwards:
Opera 2's incompatibility with the HTML *standard*.

Which (like other M$ products that produce "HTML" output)
generates unnecessarily verbose code
(not great--even if you're getting a bargain on bandwidth).
That code is also NOT necessarily going to render in all browsers.

Guilty as charged. Nobody but Jim gives a hoot. Well,
maybe John, who lives in San Francisco, a city that some
say can beat the pants off Boston.

Our own graphics and news guy, who started with handcoding
(same as I do, http://www.picovolt.com/win/elec/index.html )
but who now uses Adobe GoLive, plus handcoding, IIRC. He's
a Massachusetts College of Art graduate.

I have no marital arrangements with M$.

Can I import what I have in FrontPage into Dreamweaver and clean it
up?

Jim Thompson

Not having bothered with either,
I can't speak to specifics of automated clean-up.
The last item in the Encyclopedia article to which I linked
talks about filters being available to do that.
(It mentions WinWord specifically).

If Dreamweaver won't,
it shouldn't be difficut to get something that will:

Looks like "validator" is more BS than fact.

A quick look with UltraEdit shows the attributes reported as "no
attribute" ARE there, they're just turned OFF. I do no fancy/smancy
shit on my website.

(I personally use Firefox with NoScript allowing only select pages to
run javascript: banks, credit cards, bill paying, etc.)

However, if anyone finds a viewing issue with their browser, please
let me know, listing what error messages/viewing problems you see,
I'll look into it.

We're supposed to get a cold snap in NE in mid Sept., followed
by a week or two of Indian Summer. This year no cold snap, all
Indian Summer, continuing till now. Tonight a change begins,
rain and cold, down to a low of 48 at night by early next week.
What a joke, we *need* a bit of serious "cold" to switch gears.
How else can we get ready for glorious white snow next January?

Jeezis! If you have somebody who can read HTML, you could import it into
NOTEPAD and clean it up! I've never seen as crappy of "HTML" as the crap
that comes out of frontpage. Except, maybe, if you're trying to use Word.

Good Luck!

Yes, but it goes postal over even minor faults. It should categorize
errors into 'serious' and 'minor'.

**I** don't have it backwards, it's Dreamweaver that flags the 'errors'.

I read in sci.electronics.design that Jim Thompson
Can I import what I have in FrontPage into Dreamweaver and clean it up?

If it claims to be .html (or .htm of course), yes.
