iCab shows the builtin errors
Authored by: EphraimWoody on Feb 24, '02 08:58:05PM

iCab shows a host of errors - "supported" must mean that he is now previewing pages on iCab as well as the others. That is good - for iCab users, but not as good as it could be. The important thing about iCab errors is they tell you when you are not following the standards. If sites not only look right in iCab, but also give no errors, then they will be much more likely to render nicely on ANY untested browser. I no longer bother checking my work on other browsers - I just make sure iCab smiles, and I know it will work on IE, Moz, Chim, Opera, Links, and the others.
