Chris De Lay sent me a link to Froogle—Google's new shopping tool. Cool! Doctor appointment. Stopped at Walgreen's for office supplies and a knee brace. Did a complete sweep of the School of Pharmacy website making the code work with the new stylesheet I created for IE6. Since IE6 and IE5 are used by the majority of our users and since I need to make James's interview reply forms live tomorrow, I'm going to sweep for IE5.x and then set it all live, sweeping swiftly afterwards for Mac browsers. Homepage validation is fixed, but the rest of the site needs work—e.g., there are plenty of images with border tags still. Dinner at home with Patrick and Sam: farfalle and mushrooms and zucchini and fresh sage with tomato-mushroom chicken sausage, corn on the cob, Italian bread. Worked on Lodestar. Did some validation checks. The author of Linklint sent me a new version—2.3.6.d—in response to my suggestion that Linklint not flag anchor tags with only an id attribute as an error, since the name attribute was dropped in XHTML 1.1. I installed it and it worked just as expected. Thanks, Jim Bowlin!
