IDM Mailing Archive

I admit it might have been asked before but can anybody send me the web addresses for realaudio idm sites. Thx in advance. Alien

<DISCLAIMER> Im not about to start some R&S flame thread, or even an Microsoft flame thread (as much as Id like to) but I do want to spread the word on this. There are other mailing lists for this kind of combat, but this is IDM and Im aware of that. </DISCLAIMER> Goto: http://www.rsrecords.com If you have Microsoft Internet Exploder youll enjoy a lovely website If you *DONT*, and choose to use Netscape, youll get a blank grey page - EVEN under 4.5 When I was looking for the Sun Electric discog, I was wondering why some people thought the RS site was down, and others thought it was fine, and both are correct, depending on the browser they use. But the fact remains that if you DONT use the Microsoft browser you will not see a damn thing. If you look at the source it has "Microsoft" tags all through it, leaving Netsapers out in the cold. Is this what R&S wants? ok, I feel better, ernie Ernesto Ikerd, (817) 763-4795 Company Graphics, Dept 17, MZ-1156 Lockheed Martin Tactical Aircraft Systems Fort Worth, Texas

How short people's memories are. It was just barely a year ago that IE 4.0 came out, the first version that finally made it possible to view the plethora of poorly-designed, works-with-Netscape-only, nonstandard "Netscape" tag-ridden web sites. However, a cursory glance at the document source of the first frames doesn't reveal any glaring errors in the HTML -- in fact, there aren't really any Microsoft tags that aren't presented in the context of valid HTML (as comments or meta data). The problem with the site (to turn this into constructive criticism) is the sloppy, inconsiderate practice of making all navigation buttons Java applets and JavaScript forms! obIDM: What happened to the October reissue of 808 State's Newbuild on Rephlex?

On top of the technical faux pas add the fact that the site is a big bowl of butt hair. Jesus the thing is ugly. What happened to the better design they had up there a year or two ago? (ok so I haven't been there in a while)... peace Nate On Wed, 11 Nov 1998 mike@hyperreal.org wrote:

NC v4.03, javascript enabled: the site functions NC v4.03, java and javascript enabled: NC crashes Note: Beside being unsightly, the site is disappointing without enabling Javascript. Doing so allows you to browse artist information and the huge r&s discography database. Jeffrey. Agreed!

I think it's been delayed, seeing as 808 State are releasing a 7-inch only single, 'Quincy' on the Small Sluts label within the next week or two. /\/)ark http://www.sonance.demon.co.uk/

Okay, I've got Microflop, but it DOES say this on the page: This Site Requires a JavaScript 1.2 Browser. We Recommend you use at least Version 4 of MSIE or NSNav. So apparently it *does* work with Netscrape as well ... I *

re: www.rsrecords.com & N NN v4.03, java and javascript disabled, or combinations enabled: the site does not function. NC v4.03, java and javascript disabled: the site functions. Jeffrey.
