Hi. I appreciate your opinion, Jonathan, but I have to strongly disagree. It is a point of fact that there are better solutions. I implement better solutions all the time - solutions that work in every browser and can be depended upon to not break in the future, or on someone's computer that you hadn't considered, due to hacks that were stuck in the HTML code to hastily cover up some issue with a band-aid in the short-term. The web is not broken just because there are some buggy clients out there. The bugs can be worked around without releasing invalid hacks into the wild. I do it all the time. and it's not because I'm some computer genius. It's possible for openbsd.org to do it too. - Jeremy
