A quick look at a couple of the new elements in the new version of HTML.

Opera + XSL = Eugh http://gkn.me.uk/weblog027 2004-04-23T14:16:00Z 2004-04-23T14:16:00Z

Evidently Opera doesn't like XSL - this weblog shows up as a lot of plain text with the odd URL chucked in. The question is whether I care.

IE + XML + XSL + XHTML + W3C = Get In! http://gkn.me.uk/weblog026 2004-04-23T14:07:00Z 2004-04-23T14:07:00Z

As a prelude to some major back-end renovation I'm planning for The Twaddle, I decided to see if I could get Internet Explorer 6 to display this XSL-ified weblog nicely, not accounting for IE-unsupported CSS (which is already taken care of at The Twaddle). Previously, IE displayed the DOCTYPE declaration as plain text at the top of the page; using strategic HTML commenting, I've managed to prevent it from doing so.

Freewebs aren't very good at MIME types http://gkn.me.uk/weblog004 2004-02-19T15:30:00Z 2004-02-19T15:30:00Z

Freewebs is obviously designed to cater for webmasters who've never heard of Jeffrey Zeldman... Like most, if not all, free web hosts, Freewebs use filename extensions to determine what MIME type to serve for a file; this is OK, until they get it wrong. Granted, Atom and XSL aren't the most commonly used file formats on the web but nonetheless Freewebs could bother serving them with the proper MIME types.
