When you view the ‘full view’ version of my article (clicking the ‘comment’ link, or following a full article from off site, there were once two options. My first attempt tried to discern the user’s browser, then forward to an HTML4 friendly page. Otherwise, it sent people to my newer XHTML 1.1 friendly page. Roughly a year ago, I removed the HTML4 friendly page.

It occured to me that it was still difficult to print my page with certain browsers. Most know not to use my CSS markup, however, a few ‘bad’ ones do. This prompted me to create the ‘make printer friendly’ link.

This will render an HTML 2 compatible display of my full article, suitable for printing on everything from Voyager 3 to lynx.

It has also recently come to my attention that a small XHTML error in my ‘site comments’ function was inhibiting Safari 2 users from leaving comments on my site. Oops!

I’ve since fixed it, and tested with Safari 1.3, Opera 8, and Firefox 1.06 (I don’t have Safari 2.0 to test locally, yet) – but I have confirmed that it now works.

All of these functions and additions have been localized for the next release of Rollator; in both Apache mod_rewrite friendly syntax, and with full-encoded URLs (which make it easier for me to develop at home and test – not to mention that some sites still lack mod_rewrite support.)
