Ok, guys, we had a thread about NXP's site a while ago. Long story short
I wrote to them and, surprise, they engaged in a lively back-and-forth
improvement session and really listened. They changed a lot of stuff,
got rid of fluff and while not perfect yet I think the NXP site has
improved quite a bit. Heck, now you can even use it with Java Script
turned off (gets rid of the nag screen). And no, I am not paid by them,
just got involved because I didn't want to see a company that was good
to me go down the tubes.

So what do thee think?

Hence pasting interesting links does work:

Anything is an improvement.

They were sending customers away, which is not what a web site is
designed for. Glad someone there actually understands the principle.

Thanks for getting involved.

Cheers Don...

Looks better than it used to ! But I don't like the floaty bookmark tab
on the right hand side. Its distracting !

Methinks it be good. Better layout to get down to a specific datasheet
when I knoweth the part number (base datasheet no longer hidden amongst
a gazillion appnotes) and easy to drill down for additional info.

Works with Opera!

Better. I use Flashblock, and it doesn't even try anything tricky. The
structure is still pretty weird, though.

What is the "switch to classic mode/switch to liquid mode" thing at
the bottom?

Allows you to switch back to the old Philips-style site. At the end of
this improvement process they'll hopefully ditch that.

And "contact" should just provide email addresses, not the dumb form
to fill out.

I've told them :)

At least they still offer the wideband transistors!

Yes. What concerned me is that only two parts show up under analog.
Probably ended up in the wrong places but it'll be corrected.

BROWSER UNSUPPORTED (Opera 8.51)

SO another giant leap backwards for NXP.

Have these guys never heard of html ?

Holy schnockers, Opera 8.51? Why not upgrade to the current (9.5)
release?

It worked just fine for me using opera 8.52 yesterday ! I do hope they
haven't broken it again !

Bloatware (damn them).

However that doesn't really address my comment. What's wrong with a standards
compliant site ?

Works after a fashion with 8.52 ! Frames are shown on top of one another
though and the list shown when you click on a link gets over written.
I'm going to update to Opera 9.27 on this machine. The old version was
a hangover from a Linux upgrade.

It is still way too cookie dependant. I generally do not tolerate
cookies.

There is a good reason for the contact form. You are expected to see
that when you think about that.

Clicking on product in the left side of the frame gives a list
underneath the frame. The top line gets hidden underneath the edge of
the frame. It isn't always clickable !

Otherwise its much better !
