I have been increasingly allergic to table web sites lately, and I'm
concerned for my health. Basically these are the symptoms:
- Each time I visit a web site, I need to view the source to see if there
is no table, if there is, I can't keep going.
- If there is no table, I need to validate the page to see if it is a
standard-compliant page. If it doesn't validate, I need to hit the back
button.
- If the page is designed without tables, I need to toggle on/off the
style sheet in Opera hitting the "Author Mode/User Mode" button to see how
it looks like without the style sheet.
Do you have these symptoms? Is it serious? Maybe Lauri Raittila, our
seasoned guru, has an explanation...
Thanks,

Why did you go there in first place - you should avoid going to sites
that you know that most likly don't interest you. In other words, don't
follow links here
Do you have these symptoms?
No. If I am asked to look some site, I usually stop evaluating site when
I can see enough problems to fill a page in my newsclient.
If I see URL here, I usually launch it to confirm my initial thought. If
it seems it might be something I have not seen before, I investigate
further.
If I am surfing, I sometimes go much farther than normal user to make
site usable. Of course, only if there is no other website about subject,
or the other has worse content.
Is it serious? Maybe Lauri Raittila, our

Those things are very easy to do on website, so when not knowing what is
wrong, using one of above approaches tells something. It doesn't matter
it the problme that orginally puzzled you is not caused by one of these,
as they need to be fixed anyway, so if the puzzling problem is not
evident, there is no reason to find it, as it is likely to be cured when
fixing bigger issue.
I do that when I am asked to fix something. If I am paid, I use
information to fix things, if I am on my free time, I tell what things
done incorrectly I saw.

A user stylesheet with
table {border: thick solid red !important;}
would save you the effort of looking at the source code.

This has me puzzled. Both the built in validator link in Opera and the
Web Dev toolbar for Firefox open the validator results in a new tab.
So hitting the back button won't do anything. I'm not qualified to
diagnose OCD but that's what comes to mind.
- If the page is designed without tables, I need to toggle on/off the

Am I the only one who finds that the keyboard shortcut for said toggle
is broken in Opera 8 beta?

You are probably not the only one who didn't read the changelog. Since
beta2, it's Shift+G. Ctrl+G is now 'Find next'. There are a few more
changes, but that would be very off-topic. http://my.opera.com/Rijk/journal/50
