Macintosh Supported Browsers (Browser Requirements) Recommended Browser the Recommended Web Browser to Use with Etudes-NG for Mac Users Is Firefox 2.0.0.16 Macintosh Supported Browsers (Browser Requirements) Recommended Browser The recommended Web Browser to use with Etudes-NG for Mac users is Firefox 2.0.0.16. Firefox requires OSX.3 or higher. Get Firefox here: http://etudes.org/gateway/Firefox Mac 2.0.0.16.dmg Notes: Please do not download Firefox 3.0 yet. We have found issues and bugs with it. Many of our Etudes-NG users use Camino browser successfully. We do not conduct QA testing with Camino, however, and thus don't recommend it, as we cannot guarantee optimal performance across all areas of the Etudes-NG software. Internet Explorer and Safari are not supported browsers for the Mac. Safari works well for viewing materials, but you won't be able to use the editor for items that need to communicate with the system, such as discussions, tests & quizzes and assignments. Netscape, Opera, and other browsers that are NOT listed here are not recommended. Instructions for AOL and CompuServe Subscribers AOL and CompuServe (AOL/CS) software includes an integrated browser-like feature that does not provide full access to the Internet. Students MUST minimize the AOL/CS Browser once their Internet connection is established and open one of the supported browsers. Do NOT attempt to use the AOL/CS versions of Netscape or Internet Explorer. You must download a separate, complete, independent version of Internet Explorer or Netscape. This will alleviate frustration associated with known problems caused by the AOL/CS quasi-browser and its inherent inability to access to a significant percent of the World Wide Web. .

Hazlettt In May 1998 the U.S. Department of Justice ("DOJ") accused Microsoft of violatirig the Sherman Antitrust Act by vigorously compet- ing against Netscape's Navigator software with Microsoft's rival browser, Internet Explorer. The substance of the allegation revolves around defensive actions taken by Microsoft to protect the dominant po- sition enjoyed by Microsoft's Windows operating system. The DOJ's theory is that, were it not for Microsoft's overly aggressive reaction to Netscape, Navigator software would have been more broadly distributed, thus enabling competition to Windows. This competition would have come directly from Java, a computer language developed by Sun Microsystems and embedded in Netscape software, allowing applications to run on any underlying operating system.

The law has allowed websites to host content created by users without, as the bill’s author, Rep. Chris Cox (R-CA), warned in 1995, “spending vast sums of money trying to define elusive terms that are going to lead to a flood of legal challenges.” Without the broad protections of 230(c)(1) in particular, websites would face “death by ten thousand duck-bites” in the form of massive litigation risks. NTIA asks the FCC to turn this law on its head, but the FCC has no authority to reinterpret the statute. The plain language and the legislative history of Section 230 demonstrate that Congress did not intend to grant any regulatory authority to the FCC. Instead, as Rep. Cox declared, Congress did “not wish to have a Federal Computer Commission with an army of bureaucrats regulating the Internet.” Under the statute’s express terms, the “interactive computer service” providers protected by Section 230 are not “information service providers,” nor are they otherwise subject to the FCC’s jurisdiction.

However, several features that enhance usability (for example, certain colors) are not available unless Netscape 4.0 or higher, Internet Explorer 4.0 or higher is used. Setting up Internet Service In order to obtain an Internet Service Provider in your area, you can look in the Yellow Pages of the telephone book under "Computers.” Usually there is a section called "On-Line Access Providers" which will give you a list of companies in your area that can provide Internet access. It may be helpful to call two or three providers to compare prices and services. Only basic Internet service is needed to use the SEMAP system to submit SEMAP certifications. In most cases, the Internet Service Provider will provide Internet browser software and will provide assistance for installing the software, configuring a modem, and accessing the Internet. You should ensure that the provider you select does, in fact, provide the browser software and provides some support. Once the browser software is installed, you will require a connection from your computer to a regular phone line to access the Internet.

    05_096970 ch01.qxp 4/20/07 11:27 PM Page 3 1 Introducing Cascading Style Sheets Cascading style sheets is a language intended to simplify website design and development. Put simply, CSS handles the look and feel of a web page. With CSS, you can control the color of text, the style of fonts, the spacing between paragraphs, how columns are sized and laid out, what back- ground images or colors are used, as well as a variety of other visual effects. CSS was created in language that is easy to learn and understand, but it provides powerful control over the presentation of a document. Most commonly, CSS is combined with the markup languages HTML or XHTML. These markup languages contain the actual text you see in a web page — the hyperlinks, paragraphs, headings, lists, and tables — and are the glue of a web docu- ment. They contain the web page’s data, as well as the CSS document that contains information about what the web page should look like, and JavaScript, which is another language that pro- vides dynamic and interactive functionality. HTML and XHTML are very similar languages. In fact, for the majority of documents today, they are pretty much identical, although XHTML has some strict requirements about the type of syntax used. I discuss the differences between these two languages in detail in Chapter 2, and I also pro- vide a few simple examples of what each language looks like and how CSS comes together with the language to create a web page. In this chapter, however, I discuss the following: ❑ The W3C, an organization that plans and makes recommendations for how the web should functionCOPYRIGHTED and evolve MATERIAL ❑ How Internet documents work, where they come from, and how the browser displays them ❑ An abridged history of the Internet ❑ Why CSS was a desperately needed solution ❑ The advantages of using CSS 05_096970 ch01.qxp 4/20/07 11:27 PM Page 4 Part I: The Basics The next section takes a look at the independent organization that makes recommendations about how CSS, as well as a variety of other web-specific languages, should be used and implemented.
