Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: Metalink and HTML (GRRRRR!)
Rich,
While the page is indeed butt ugly, I'll have to say that it's just as ugly in IE as it is in Opera (my browser of choice -- life is too short to wait on IE). It looks like no body even looked at it in a browser.
-rje
PS Life is also to short to wait on the bloated HTML generated by MS Word or even Front Page....
J> OK, this is getting more than a little frustrating. Over the past few J> years, I've put in TARs about the poorly-written HTML on the Metalink pages J> because it causes certain articles to be unreadable in browsers other than J> IE. I was hoping that the "new" Metalink (as yet unseen) would fix this, J> until today when I read this:
J> http://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/ml2_documents.showDocument?p_datab J> ase_id=NOT&p_id=135677.1
J> Seeing that half of the article is double spaced and has margins asserted on J> it that cause the code to wrap, I viewed the source:
J> <meta name=Originator content="Microsoft Word 9">
J> JUST FREAKING GREAT! What happened to Uncle Larry's Linux Mandate? So what J> if Oracle is converting to Linux? Why should their customers use Linux if J> Oracle makes it more difficult for them? There ain't no browser available J> on Linux that'll read that article properly because it's a Microslop-only J> webpage! GRRRRRRRRR! >|
