Every Tuesday through Friday, we post a new Monkey Bite on our frontdoor for your edification. This could be a little news item, a link to a useful site, a handy coding tip, or just some random piece of information we think might be of interest to Web developers. Expired Monkey Bites are stored right here, growing tastier and more sophisticated with each passing day.
This month's Monkey Bites:

The Common User
Agent Problems Note from the W3C offers a long list of browser crimes
against humanity, along with suggestions for how the browsers can get time
off for "good behavior." The recommendation may be geared toward people who
make the browsers, but it's also heartening news ("See, it's not my
fault!") for little-guy Web developers.

Far be it from us to poke fun at enormous Flash splash pages, but Skipintro.com's splash page about how
boring splash pages can be (So meta! So refreshing!) is a diversion worthy
of at least a few "that is so true!" chuckles.

The next time you e-talk behind someone's back, you better watch your own.
If you've ever felt the sting of hitting "Reply" when you meant to
"Forward" a particularly snarky email, then you'll fully appreciate the
dangers of email
wiretapping, a new "exploit" that allows people to see the message you
add to their email before you forward it.
