Release notes and some other comments
Release notes
These pages started life roughly at the turn of the century when I was in
charge of the web of a multihull association. One of my ambitions was
to show and explain different types of sailing multihulls. My own boat
represented the coastal racer/cruisers belonging to the International
Micro Multihull class that came to life in the mid 1980s.
A couple of years later the running of that club web was taken over by people with an agenda quite different from mine.
In early 2004 I got myself a high-speed Internet connection and bundled with it is some space on a server. I up-loaded my Scarlattikvarten stuff there. So far all I had used was plain and basic html plus frame sets.
In the summer of 2004 I started to learn about CSS (Cascaded Style Sheets) and this inspired me to the work that resulted in the current release. Apart from working on the styling and navigation of these pages I have also added quite a bit of new material this time.
In March 2005 I gave styling an overhaul that removed the last remains of the original frameset design. I have also moved a little closer to Any Browser nirvana.
Standard compliance et cetera
I do indeed agree
with the ideas and ambitions of the people behind the anybrowser web. I
have striven to make my web compliant with the standards of W3C but I
know my web does not work 100% with any browser. Building this web is a
learning experience and one of the things I have not mastered yet is how
to cope with web browsers that are not standard compliant.
If you do have problems I suggest you try out Firefox or Opera. Both are for free and both work on a wide variety of platforms.
