Bell.ca’s absurd home page
Remember those wonderful web badges that obnoxious webmasters used to put on their home pages? You know, “Optimized for Netscape 3.0″? As if people would go to the trouble of downloading and installing a web browser just to see some idiot’s latest enhancement to their web site (usually something involving the “blink” tag).
Well, I had a flashback to those days today. I visited Bell.ca, and I had the audacity to do it with a Mac and ?
Reviewed: Adobe Dreamweaver CS3
Summary: Dreameaver 9.0.0.3481
If you skipped Macromedia Dreamweaver 8, have an Intel Mac or Photoshop CS3, then this might be worth upgrading to. Otherwise, the ugly new icon is the most noticeable new feature. They want you to open your wallet far too wide for this upgrade, if you ask me.

Macromedia Contribute 3.1 and CSS
When deploying Macromedia Contribute for a client recently, I ran into an issue with Contribute not displaying CSS in edit mode (it displays just fine in browse mode). This wasn’t a purely aesthetic problem, either, since it meant site editors would be unable to apply custom styles (anything beyond generic HTML tags) to their content.
While there are lots of people on Macromedia’s Contribute forums having related issues, they were mostly using SSI to insert their CSS into pages. I was using @import (mostly to hide styles from Netscape 4.x). The results were the same, however, which isn’t too surprising since @import is essentially an include.
In this case, we decided to not worry about the tiny percentage of Netscape 4.x users the site had logged recently, and placed links to the CSS files directly in the pages, eliminating the need for @import. Contribute now plays nicely with the site’s CSS.
Macromedia tech support was helpful, and in the end suggested making relative links to the included CSS (we had been using root-relative links). It’s still a work-around, but maybe this will help someone…
