Unfortunately, you get what you pay for. Typically, the man who volunteers
gets the job. As I am not a web designer, I'm reduced to bitching and
moaning. The site doesn't come up for me at all with Konqui (oops, it does
come up, sort of... takes forever to load the javascript buttons, but only
partially, and looks bad -- man, it's no wonder nobody visits this site).
It's also slow to load and looks bad using Netscape 4.7x and won't load with
Mozilla under linux 'cause Moz don't know about the JM that I've got
installed and I haven't told it about it yet (what it don't know won't hurt
it). Perhaps I can improve it by changing my java install.
Caldera's Workstation 3.1 apparently uses:
[dad@ew31 dad]$ java -version
java version "1.3.0"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition, root-20Apr2001-17:16
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM, Caldera Systems, mixed mode
Perhaps a change there would do some good. Any recommendations on Java
clients?
I reaIly wish he'd get rid of the freakin' java, though, I've complained to
him several times. I typically don't surf with Java enabled. But... my pleas
fall on deaf ears. The only choice I would seem to have is to volunteer to
take over running the site. But that means learning web design and html.
Anyone care to recommend a web design tool for the neophite?
Regards,
Tim
