Regarding http://www.genomicron.evolverzone.com/category/junk-dna/ With javascript enabled, I am asked to install "missing plugins" (apparently Flash, a hallmark of poorly done web pages). Looking at the source, there is a lot of scripting (including special treatment of Internet Explorer, by versions). The <noscript></noscript> missing for all but one trivial case. The headlines are set to NOT change appearance with mouse-over (terminally stupid!). So, yes, poor design (technical, not talking eye candy) indeed. Certainly in good company with very many "shiny defeats function" pages that use god-awful scripting where one line of HTML would have done. I have seen the "forever rotating dots" phenomenon (apparently described by Henry) with very many web pages, but, for the record, not with this one. http://validator.w3.org/ gives, for this page, 204 Errors and 288 warnings, see http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.genomicron.evolverzone.co... Browsers have to be exceedingly forgiving to show anything at all for such an utterly broken page. Best, jj * Jeffrey Shallit <shallit@uwaterloo.ca> [Sep 09. 2012 07:56]:

I certainly hope this is readable by everyone, and passes the test for good user interface. But if anyone needs step-by-step instructions on how to read it, perhaps a small child nearby can help.
