I was taking a look at a site someone wants to emulate, sent it to the

their sockets, there were so many.

And the winner is...<http://airliners.net> with 11,092 errors and 242
warnings.

Even changing the doctype to HTML Transitional, there are 147 errors
(XHTML tags, missing alt, not escaping&). I guess that's not too bad,
considering there are 6,193 lines. It's just a mess - a good example of
what NOT to do.

Yes, this tops the number of errors I have ever seen on a web page.
The page uses a lot of JavaScript, so it is interesting to view the
page with script turned off. The JavaScript snow effect reminded me of
one often used about 10+ years ago. It is a "new and improved" snow
script that is very long and has many options. The script may be
viewed at http://www.airliners.net/js/snowstorm.js . I nearly fell off
of my chair laughing when I looked at the Properties near the top of
the script. One line says:
this.snowColor='#fff'; //Don't eat (or use?) yellow snow . Also the
site of the owner of the snow script is quite different from the
usual. This "improved" snow Javascript did require quite a bit of
talent to write. However, you can do much more with a Java snow
script. One of the most complex Java applets I have seen produces
snow, wind, drifting mist, thunder and a marquee like effect, all of
which may be self started.



That damned snow script sends my dual core into overdrive.

Script off = 1 GHz
Script on = 3.2 GHz

Uggh!
