Test Zone
This page is where I test out various bits of javascript that I have probably adapted from stuff found in books or other websites. Why re-invent the wheel? This page is also the hub for further test webpages on styling and other web technologies. I have never really had the time to master Java which is a shame. I want to try some Ajax stuff soon. But how do you keep up when its only an interest rather than a job.
I hear that IE7 will not fix some of the annoying tricks it does. First on my list is its treatment of floats and clear. So I will continue as better designers than me to work around its annoyances. I continue to use Opera and Firefox myself to browse the web. When I have a good connection, something greater than dialup, I prefer the RSS route. This brings the content to you - sort of. I hear IE7 supports RSS - Microsoft are playing catch up as usual. They have never been great innovators but are good a bringing stuff to the attention of the masses. And as usual they are trying to change the standards to suit their applications. I know they are not alone in this but they seem to believe they are always correct and know what is best for us all.
More on my projects.

- Simple Flash Viewer
- Shockwave Flash Movies
- MS Agent Technology
- Ajax test page
- Test Javascripts
- Table Test
- Videos by object
- Competition
You can never test too much. Well actually you can never test every pathway and permutation so just try the most used, critical, and possible - or read a decent guide book for a more full strategy.
Next
Plans for next major update are to move the fantasy formula one to a database backed website. Given my web server it will be driven by PHP scripting and the database will be MySQL. This means moving a Delphi application or maybe it doesn't? That will be the first question to answer.
Trying out some Ajax
This is a very simple example that just fetches a small amount of text and displays it in a paragraph below. Make the request.
