Update: My thoughts on the housing village project are in another post.

CSUS recently did a survey and published the results on the web. Very commendable so far. But somebody apparently tried to work around browser incompatibilities by making a simplifying assumption: that the only web browsers in use today are Netscape and everything else (which can only mean you’re running Internet Explorer):

if (navigator.appName == "Netscape")
    {
    Netscape-specific settings here.
    }
else
    { 
    IE-specific settings here.
    }

Several people who were interested in the results of this survey are not using Netscape or IE, and their requests for browser-neutral access to the results have not been answered. One person also pointed out that the interface doesn’t follow web accessibility guidelines. I’m not up-to-speed on WAI, so I can’t take care of that. But I can make the results pages available. Each link below leads to one of the survey results pages. Enjoy!

Please remember the cardinal rule of the web: Write your pages to be viewed by any browser!
