Chrome and MySpace Example

Google now has the Chrome Section Live and Downloadable
http://www.google.com/chrome

I have downloaded it and I am trying it now! I must say I am actually really enjoying the speed, and the viewing area along with a bunch of other features.

So far, the only problems with Chrome I seem to be having are on some MySpace pages. Here is an example of what it is doing with some text on some MySpace pages. I have not seen this happen on a non-MySpace webpage yet.

But, well.. I cant say too much about that.. because.. well.. they are MySpace pages. No offense to anyone or their theme / layout on MySpace.. it’s just that the coding is SO not the best coding. I can see what is causing the problems, and it is more of bad coding for the layouts and not the browser’s fault.

Jeffrey Zeldman brings a wonderful point to mind: Save the Accessibility Institute! Seen here at Jeffrey Zeldman’s website he helps spread the word of a great cause !  http://www.zeldman.com/2008/08/29/save-the-accessibility-institute/

Accessibility is one of the most under-utilized parts of a website.

I hesitate to say feature because it Accessibility should never be added onto a website as a “feature” of a website, more along the lines that a website should be itself and also BE Accessible. Confusing? Would you rather have to “make” milk Duds with chocolate surrounding caramel after you brought the chocolate and caramel home? Add a feature to the caramel? Or would you rather enjoy opening the box of milk duds and just eat them while enjoying the caramel on the inside?

Still confused? Read the page from the link and find other links from there. It would be easier than me trying to think up a cheesy analogy..
