$ wget http://grass.cis.sinica.edu.tw/index.php
$ validate index.php
Lots of errors with
$ which validate|xargs dlocate
wdg-html-validator: /usr/bin/validate
But worst of all,
$ firefox index.php
shows "Welcome to" and the rest requires horizontal scrolling!

You guys must all have giant screens. I use 800x600.

"Complex nested HTML table hacks are still used by a majority of
websites to control columns and margins around blocks of text and
images. This holds back advancement in accessibility for the Web. The
glut of useless markup tags often confuses older browsers, as well as
the screen readers which help the visually and physically impaired use
the Web."

I have images turned off in my browser.

Known problem (alsready posted to you...).
Fix welcome, it's related to the "search box". No
idea how to fix it (validate doesn't tell me).

But worst of all,
$ firefox index.php
shows "Welcome to" and the rest requires horizontal scrolling!

You guys must all have giant screens. I use 800x600.

Try again.
