Criticism
Although Arena ran well, there were inconsistent reports about the speed of Arena.
The biggest problems were that Arena couldn't handle forms, and that the PNG support was broken from version 0.3.07 on. Earlier Arena releases had full alpha-channel support, but only with using Arena's own "sandy" background pattern. The animated GIFs extension - presented by Netscape in March 1996 - didn't work properly.
Other problems included rendering problems with tables, and the lack of integration of so-called extended HTML code, i.e. the BG COLOR-tag and the DIV ALIGN-tag.
Earlier versions of Arena (until 0.3.26 (01.06.97)) didn't support the email MIME.

Famous quotes containing the word criticism:
“I hold with the old-fashioned criticism that Browning is not really a poet, that he has all the gifts but the one needful and the pearls without the string; rather one should say raw nuggets and rough diamonds.”
—Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889)
“Of all the cants which are canted in this canting world—though the cant of hypocrites may be the worst—the cant of criticism is the most tormenting!”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
“The visual is sorely undervalued in modern scholarship. Art history has attained only a fraction of the conceptual sophistication of literary criticism.... Drunk with self-love, criticism has hugely overestimated the centrality of language to western culture. It has failed to see the electrifying sign language of images.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
