Well, well. Here is the third version of MPAM.
So... why did the second version last so little time ? We think we can give three main reasons for that :
- We wanted to make an XHTML compliant website : MPAM 3 is checked for compatibility with the W3C XHTML validator and Mozilla Firefox (you got it, we don't even always check with MSIE :p).
- We wanted to change our scripting method : on MPAM and MPAM 2, all the scripts (Javascripts) were executed by the user (that's you ;)). We did so because we wanted to save server resources. But this implied too many limitations, which we have reached with our Folding@Home page : we had to manually update the list & user info ! On MPAM 3, you'll see as little client-based scripting as possible, and as much PHP as needed.
- We couldn't keep updating a site in both English and French. Today, as you can see, we did choose (happy ? ;)).
Site compatibility :
- Mozilla Firefox : designed for and tested with Mozilla Firefox.
- MSIE : not very good with MSIE 6. Not good on MSIE 5.
- Opera 7.54 : not very good.
- Netscape, Mozilla : not tested at all. Should be rather okay (Firefox is like the latest version of Netscape and Mozilla). Not working on Netscape 4.7 or sth (lol do you use that ?).
- Summary : valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional, best results with Mozilla Firefox, more or less okay on major browsers (MSIE, Opera, Netscape (?), Mozilla (?))
