Andrew P. Citron's Home Page

He's been married to the same woman since 1975. That's a miracle these days.

These 2 photos of Andy were taken around 10 years apart. You'd have to agree, he's aged well. OK, maybe you won't agree.

He plays guitar in a rock band named Third Time Thru. He used to play with a jazz band named Oak City Groove.

When he figures out the chords and words for a song the band is going to play, he writes them down and sends them to the on-line guitar archive. That's a repository of lyrics and chords that's on the internet.

Andy plays tennis and does yoga for exercise and fun. He won first place in the Stonebridge men's tennis doubles league in 1994, 1997 and 2005.

Would you like to see his resume? Would you like to see information on the patents he holds?

I put these pages together in order to learn about html and the web. I'm using java, video, images, audio, and java script. What I've found is that these neat things act differently depending on what browser you're using and who the web host is.

I also found out that some features change over time.

My favorite is the little caption on this page that says 'this page last updated...and then some date'. The javascript that displays that used to work reliably. Now there's no telling what date will be displayed.

Another example is the 'alt' tag which you can add to images. When the web was young, some browsers displayed a caption when you held your mouse still over a photo. It was a primitive way to have some interaction with a web page. It was also useful because not all browsers supported images. After a while all the browsers supported the alt tag. But then browsers got more sophisticated and supported java script to make the pages more interactive. So captions popping up over photos was not that useful. The pop up captions are still useful for the visually impaired. Screen readers can 'see' them and read them. Now, all the browsers support the 'alt' tag, but they have them disabled by default. I guess if you're blind, you can somehow figure out how to turn on the alt tag feature. Go ahead. See if you can figure out how to enable alt tag processing in your browser. Most of the images on my pages still have pop up captions.

Cheryl put together a bunch of info about planning a wedding in Raleigh. It was so popular with our neighbors that I decided to put it out on the web.

Here are some photos of me at the National Association of Music Merchandizers trade show in Nashville.

Here's some photos of the family in Europe in 1998.
