I tried posting this on comp.infosystems.www.misc, but that group appears to get very little traffic. So now I'm trying here. If there is a more appropriate group, please let me know. I'm interested in how cacheing web proxies are expected to behave with regard to pages that change. After changing the content of a simple web site I have, I...

W3C recommendations notwithstanding (see http://w3.org/TR/html401/appendix/notes.html#notes-tables) I can't seem to persuade either of the leading browsers to do true incremental table loading. Neither responds to COL/COLGROUP tags. I have a very large data table which is being generated in J/ECMA/JavaScript dynamically. I want to give the...

I tried validating a page with nested <ul>'s and it's complaining. I haven't found any specific documentation in the standard that says you can't, but maybe it's there and I'm not seeing it. Otherwise, my page must have a syntax error somewhere I haven't yet found. I also thought of something that might work. Is it acceptable to make a...

The icons at the bottom of http://wallysanford.com are higher in Netscape Navigator 7.1 than in Internet Explorer 6. Last time this sort of thing happened increasing the font size in NN7 fixed it (for that session). This time it doesn't. Can anyone tell me why, or point me to a resource, or explain how to fix it?
