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!

I was able to view the site with Firefox, IE, Safari and Opera without any problems. What browser were you using that ran into problems?
I’m using Firefox 1.0.6 on Windows XP. Were you able to see/use the navigation buttons or pull-down menu in the black-backgrounded frame at the bottom of the page?
I don’t see any navigation features at the bottom of the pages in Firefox, IE, Safari or Opera. I didn’t see anything in the source code about this either.
The code for the pages is ugly and wrong. Some of the HTML tags are just plain incorrect, the fact that these pages are viewable at all is pretty amazing. They couldn’t find a student assistant who could put together a decent looking site with valid HTML?
