Deep Truths is 100% hand coded XHTML. The main pages were validated by w3.org) In the beginning I used the following freeware: HTML-Kit, TopStyle Lite and Notepad (free only with Windows) and Bluefish (after moving to Fedora Core Linux). "Sams Teach Yourself HTML and XHTML in 24 Hours" is the main resource that inspired the technical side of Deep Truths.
Deep Truths is maintained on the Fedora Linux operating system. I use Bluefish as its main HTML/CSS editor and Gthumb and the Gimp as its graphic editors.
The dropdown menu at the top of this page is thanks to the work of Stu Nicholls of CSS PLaY -- pure CSS with no JavaScript whatsoever and even works in MS Internet Explorer 6 and 7 -- though not as fast as it does in true CSS 2 compatible browsers like Firefox. On Oct. 31, 2006 the menu was improved further also thanks to the work of Mr. Nicholls. And again on March 19, 2008 the menu was yet improved again thanks to Mr. Nicholls.
The PHP code of the random message section on the top page is thanks to Dave Gradwell in Canada.
The CSS code to make the two colunm list on Bible Basics is thanks to http://www.alistapart.com/articles/multicolumnlists/
I tried to make Deep Truths to display well in all browsers. Only earlier browsers such as Internet Explorer 5 and 5.5 do not display the top page property, but they do show all the other pages correctly. I had hoped that IE7 would be a significant improvement over IE6 in CSS 2 compatibiltity, but I hear it's only a 4% improvement! IE8 is supposed to finally come up to W3C standards. We'll see. If so, the dropdown menu won't need special IE hacks and should run as fast in IE 8 as it does now in Firefox and other CSS 2 compatible browsers.
The only browsers that I know of so far which support CSS 3 code that shows shadow text on the H1 tag titles on the article pages are the latest version of Firefox, (3.5.6 at the time of this update), Google Chrome, KDE Konqueror, Gnome Galeon, and Opera. You can see the H1 tag CSS 3 generated shadow text in the image below as displayed by Konqueror.
