The Cloud's Chrome Lining

I thought of an easier way to explain the formatting problems y'all see. In the early days, there were only minimal common standards in HTML. Netscape and IE invented their own primitive 'tags' that controlled how your page looked, and gave more control, but that were incompatible with each other's browser. So you would build for one browser, accept that your page wouldn't look completely right in the other, then tell users which browser you wanted them to use. Later, after web standards were more developed, browsers used a common set of tags- but also had to support the old tags so that old pages would still work. But imagine what happens after 15 years of this: you have this whole train of old inefficient methods of doing things that have been replaced with a more efficient and commonly shared way of doing things, and you can never be sure whether a page will contain both old and new tags, and so you don't have control. This has been a big issue for pro web developers for a while now, and finally browsers are no longer supporting the old, heavy and inaccurate methods. I know that from your perspective it seems like the browser's fault, but really it's the way the page is built. Think of it kind of like trying to drive a model T on the freeway- for years you've had a special slow lane, but the highway department is now taking it away for another fast lane. .. Darn, another hashed metaphor. Too late at night, and too long at work. Again, study up or hire a pro (Like me! ;-) )

The problem is that you build your site in Yahoo SiteBuilder, which is full of deprecated tags, style statements and other detritus. No offense, but the problem is your pages, not the browser. Put another way, IE and to a lesser degree Mozilla and Firefox will support your site, but only because they have special additions that recognizes deprecated code. Do a view source on your pages and look how much text there is to present what is actually a simple layout. All of that has to download every time someone views the page. It's like a house made of flattened tin cans and old tires. The idea with Chrome is to build a platform for next gen apps, and at some point the old hacked up ways of doing things have to be left behind and pages built with web standards are faster, lighter and more powerful. Maybe take a Dreamweaver class, or hire a professional? Hope this helps

It makes a mess of blog articles running all of the text together..

I like Chrome and I´ll keep using treehoo.com (the Google-based site that plants trees) as my default hoempage!
