This page is not Valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional !

I was trying to make a page XHTML compatible when this message came up

Line 32 column 185: non SGML character number 146.I got 22 such errors.

MS Word was the culprit. The content for the page came from a doc typed by someone - God knows whom . I saved the doc as .txt and the the errors indicated by the XHTML validator turned into question marks.

Fixed  them and the page is now

This Page Is Valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional!

AJAX and the PageViews

Posted By: varun krishnan  Published in General, Coding tags in , , and

Was reading some stuff on how Ajax can pull down your Search Engine rankings. More than the rankings , its the change in Page View model that adds a lot of confusion to Web Marketers. Tools like Google Analytics might help to a certain extent for tracking AJAXified sites.

Many big guys are using an smart alternate strategy to display the content using AJAX for supported browsers and in Native form (pages ) to non ajax browsers / spiders.

The new Microsoft.com is built to crash your firefox

Was reading a post on Ajaxian about the redesign of the Microsoft homepage

The design looks nice. But they seem to have included some new fancy stuff like the popup divs which seem to have some javascript issues atleast with firefox.

So i opened  it in IE. It freezed IE also for a while.

But after a while it was OK in IE.
