Review: Contenders Challenge The Microsoft Office Monopoly

"Open Artwork System Interchange Standard (OASIS)".

And here's me thinking it meant "Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards".

Ah well. Open is as open does ;-)

Using the Beta 2 version of Firefox 1.5, this is the worst rendering I have encountered using this browser. Story text overwrites adjacent sidebars. Further down the page, it is obvious that some characters, if not major portions of the text, are absent where I am seeing an adjacent blank area. The latter may be due to my forbidding certain sites from rendering any data on my viewed pages - might be "missing" ads.

Just wondering if the Information Week article appears as disjointed on anyone else's browser.

It does the same with FF 1.0.7 on Suse 9.3. I actually had to select and paste the text in OOo to read it without getting frastrated.

Not just FF, either. My Konqueror hates it in pretty much the same way.

Opera does much better, but still some problems.

Clearly a crappy page.

Thanks, nice to know. It's probably an IE optimized page standards at work.

And Mozilla gags on it too. Well done, CMP.net! :P

However it looks good when you hit the 'print this article' link: http://www.informationweek.com/shared/printableArticle.jhtml...

It is all those IFRAME tags in the source which are coded to IE standards not W3C. FF can handle IFRAMES properly as demonstrated by this link http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_ifr...

CMP should get their act together if they want to stay on the Intgernet.

Me too: the "Flash" ad overlaps the article, all the left hand text margins get overlapped by the ads in the left hand column.

Slackware 10.1, FF 1.0.3, but I just recompiled GTK+, Cairo, Pango and all those libraries to get PyGTK to work. I'd had other "wrinkly" text problems sometimes in random pages, but this one takes the cake.

It seems CMP must have fixed their new pages, take a look at this new one

It rendered beautifully in FF 1.0.7. Good job CMP and thanks for listening.

The previous one still renders very badly; while you are at it, how about fixing it too? We will be checking it again.
