Our application is designed on a framework that has evolved over 2 years, the framework has nothing to do whether it is compliant or not and is designed to work and be able to create an application that is easy to put together (that's the idea behind a framework).
The application we create has to meat the requirements of the company we create it for, if that means local accessibility laws then the answer is yes, but as we don't need to as the application we deliver is based of the clients old software application that is 25 years old we do what the client wants, and needs. Having said that we use Iframes within Iframes, and divs and as I said earlier we try our application on other browsers on every new release and to date we have not had one non IE browser run our intranet sites. And at 200k a pop we are not going to remove critical functionality and functionality that is critical to our success to cripple our future, to be savvy because of the new flavour browser that might be not be around in 2 years time. Firefox is what generation browser now, and have they learnt anything yet? -----Original Message----- From: Paul Vernon [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, 7 December 2004 10:55 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: SOT: Browser Stats (stirring the pot) > 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. I just have a couple of questions? Does your app need comply with any local accessibility laws? That is to say, do your clients need to provide an equal opportinities workplace where disabled people are not discriminated against and can use any of the applications that their able bodied colleagues use with impunity? If so, does your application comply with the relevant accessibility guidelines? If not, aren't you worried about that or is it a case of you'll worry about it when the time comes? If it doesn't need to comply then great, stick with what you are doing! At $200k a pop, I think I would.... But then looking to the future, maybe looking more deeply into what Firefox (or any other browser for that matter) supports so that you can produce an application with the same funciotnality that is currently in place might not be such a bad idea... I'd certainly wager that you may not be able to do the job in the same way if you went browser independent but human ingenuity would find a way to implement it anyway! This is the way of things... And BTW, I am a Firefox and IE user, and having used the Internet in one form or another since the early nineties, I regard myself as an old time experienced Internet user... For the first time ever, last week I got duped into running some spyware in Firefox... Let me tell you spyware installs just as easily in Firefox as it does in IE.... Nasty little thing... I manged to undo the damage it did but it took 2 hours using Adaware, Spybot, Panda AV, Trend HouseCall, Norton, Mcafee, Bitdefender and half an hour in regedit to find and remove all the last little bits of the thing... God help the uninitiated....
