"What happens if I do this?"
is a question I've often asked myself. The results are a bunch of experiments that I played around with, trying out new (to me) technologies on the web. In here, you will discover experiments with Javascript, XML, XHTML, MathML, and SVG. The majority cannot be viewed in Internet Explorer, as it doesn't support certain CSS rules, and certainly cannot handle XHTML.
The true nature of these experiments can be best appreciated by looking at the page's code, links to which are provided.
An experiment with XHTML + MathML + SVG
The Lattice is an old method of multiplication, and I created this page to describe how it worked.
This was an experiment in XHTML, MathML, and SVG. I have three versions: 1) XHTML, with MathML and SVG embedded using <object> tags, 2) XHTML and MathML combined, with SVG embedded using <object> tags, and 3) everything all in one file.
Note: Firefox apparently does not handle MathML at all well, so the first version will look really strange. Opera, Google Chrome, and Safari on the other hand, handle MathML just fine.
XML was meant for silly uses!
This was a "protest" against the World Wide Web Consortium's cutting of a lot of what I thought were useful elements. Shows you how much I know. It DID spark a couple really interesting conversations on the WebDeveloper Forums discussing the nature of markup and presentation.
One quick look at the code reveals just how ridiculous "simplicity" can get.
Oh, and yes, the number is a parody of the version numbering of other markup languages.
One of the most delightfully USELESS ideas I ever came up with. This the result of playing around with Javascript and absolute positioning. It's thoroughly ridiculous, but I had a lot of fun with it.
This was created to show how perfectly valid HTML, CSS, and error-free JavaScript did not necessarily make for a good webpage. If you have epilepsy, I recommend you don't look at this, since it does have flashing backgrounds.
Unlike most of my experimental pages, this does work in Internet Explorer. Go figure.
