Frequently
Asked Questions
Do you support the new Apple Safari browser ? Not at this time. We develop on a PC platform and Safari is only available on an Apple platform.
Are Java and JavaScript the same? Java and JavaScript are not the same thing, nor
are they really related. JavaScript is a scripting language that is
used in web page development to set the properties of a web page.
Java is a compiled programming language that is used to develop applications.
What browser versions do you support? Currently we support Netscape 4.x and 6.x as well
as Internet Explorer 4.x and above and Netscape 7.x. We favor Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), which Netscape 4.x
does not support but we make every effort to add additional code to
support Netscape 4.x to mimic CSS. We do use quite a bit of JavaScript,
which
both Internet Explorer 4.x and Netscape 4.x and above support. We also support Mizilla Firefox.
What are META tags and why are they important?
There are two META tags that are important to the search engines:
Keywords are
META tag values that specify certain words to help Internet search
engines index your site.
Descriptions are
META tag values that also help various search engines index your
site. Some search engines will actually use in their directory
the very descriptions you specify to describe your site.
Visitors to your site won't be able to see the
META tag information because is only visible inside your HTML.
Why does the type size appear smaller on a Mac
than in Windows on a PC? Unfortunately for all of us well-intentioned web
publishers, HTML type appears much larger on Windows than it does on
the Mac. Although they both display images at 72 DPI (dots per inch),
Windows displays type at 96 dpi, whereas the Mac displays it at 72
dpi. This deceptively small technical difference results in much larger
type on Windows.
Do you use Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)? We are strong advocates of using CSS on our pages;
however, there is a slight disadvantage to CSS because they are supported
only by 4.0 or later browsers. That is why we only support Netscape
4.x and Internet Explorer 4.x and above.
What is a Plug-In? In
the early days of the web, any file that wasn't an HTML file had to
be downloaded and required a separate "player" for
the content to be seen. This was a hassle for most web surfers, because
it meant that you had to break the flow of a good "surf" to
view material in an external application. In response to this problem,
Netscape introduced the idea of plug-ins, which extended the capability
of HTML pages to display content that wasn't HTML-based. Today, a variety
of plug-ins are pre-installed in most browsers. These can include QuickTime,
Flash, Shockwave, Real Player and Acrobat Reader.
How does a seach engine work? Here is how a search
engine works ... your site is on a list to be spidered (done by submission).
When the search engine spider visits your site
it takes all TEXT on that page an starts to index the terms. Note: it
will not index text on an image. From
there it starts to follow links inside the site looking for only text on
the pages. As it finds common phrases it starts to give it a
rating. This will tell the search engine how important the phrases it
finds are on your site. It continues until if has gone through all your
links. So
the more key seach words you have on pages, the better. The best thing
to do is write a paragraph of text on the page that has
the products on it. Take advantage of where you can put text.
