[Year 12 IT Apps] Itapps Digest, Vol 85, Issue 22

Wed Mar 7 11:25:42 EST 2012

IE is mandated at our college. I notice students installing other browsers
on their netbooks, most are savvy enough do this now. Chrome is a
favourite. Cross browser testing of the websites that they build can lead
to some interesting discussions about open standards and why organisations
end up building things that break or block

Can anybody else put their hand up with me and own up to having once used
the Lynx browser? (grin) Don't laugh, this 20 year old browser technology
is a really good way of visualising what the web looks like for visually
impaired users.
