About this Site’s Design
Since this is Business and Applied Technology information Web site, we decided to apply the latest technology when writing our Web pages.
This site has not been designed for only one browser. It has been designed for all browsers and devices by authoring with the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) recommendations, including XHTML 1.0 Transitional and Cascading Style Sheets.
Using these Style Sheets allows us to separate the “look and feel” of the pages from the actual content of the pages.
As a result, this website displays properly in Opera 5, Opera 6, MSIE5, MSIE5.5, MSIE6, Netscape 6, and Mozilla, while its text is available to any browser or Internet device, from Netscape 1.0 to Palm Pilots and web phones.
When we made the decision to move to this new technology, we also decided to give our section of the Web site the new look that you see here.

The logic of authoring to W3C recommendations, instead of to the quirks of old, non–standards–compliant browsers (be they Netscape’s or Microsoft’s or anyone else’s) is explained in these places:
- The Style Guide of the Branch Libraries of The New York Public Library
- To Hell With Bad Browsers at A List Apart.
Thanks to Jeffrey Zeldman for some of the wording used in this page.
