First of all, As I LMAO at you, being a developer for HTML applications, Intranets, Extranets and websites for over 10 years. I can say that every browser on the market today is NOT capable of delivering our application to the end user, we use specific IE only functionality and it works. We will not remove any of this to run it under Firefox because our application is what is making us over $200K per application, because we can do what others can not.
This forces people to use IE on these intranets, but if the client wants the application to run then it has to be IE or nothing. Now before you Laugh again, think about what you're saying. I am not saying that IE is the best thing since sliced bread, I am not saying that I like IE over anything else, I am saying that IE is the only browser that will run our application at the moment. -----Original Message----- From: dave [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, 6 December 2004 8:22 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: SOT: Browser Stats (stirring the pot) are u serious??? LMFAO!!! "we" don't use it as a standard, you may but surely don't include me wait till u start to make compliant wrbsites then say that. its more like ppl use ie because they don't know any better or they don't know they have "better" choices. its funny u say this because i read an article where steve balmer said like a week ago that m$ wont add "enhancements" because their customers dont want them. WHich more than likely isnt the case, its more like they dont know that they can have a better browser experience without ie. I remember that i used to think that i would never use say, tabbed browsing..... until i tried it, now i cant live without it. ---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- From: "Andrew Scott" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Mon, 6 Dec 2004 16:37:26 +1100 >Not to mention that we use IE as a standard for our intranet systems we >design, why because NO other browser is capable of delivering the >content enhancements we need in the browser, and that is what will make >IE remain strong... > >Regards, >Andrew Scott > > >-----Original Message----- >From: mayo [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Sent: Monday, 6 December 2004 3:19 PM >To: CF-Talk >Subject: RE: SOT: Browser Stats (stirring the pot) > >I maintain / have access to the logs of about 15 sites.
