Again... this is the stupidest thread I've ever had the pleasure on deleting nearly 90 times. Will you people just grow up?
Why is everyone so concerned over Andrew's philosophy? How can you sit here and make these BS arguments, when you dont apply this reason to any other type of applications? Why does every html based application have to render in every browser? Why is it ok to write a program that only runs on linux, or OSX when you could obviously just write everything in Java for all platforms? Why do you not care that games are published for gamecube and not Xbox? What is this double standard? I can agree with you if you are talking about a public website, but come on.... Andrew writes web applications built for IE because its adds value to his applications. We have 30+ intranet applications I support written only for IE 5.5+ within the Dept of State. Now according to Nathan I must be some kinda of moron, but why would I spend any extra development time while hindering features just to support the latest open-source browser that is prohibited on my network? Thats not to say that the public website I'm about to launch isnt a CSS1 masterpiece (beacuse CSS2 will not exist until IE decides it can) because it is. Web sites have vastly different requirements from web applications. This is not a tough concept to grasp. Andrew writes an app that sells for 200k, even though its built for IE only, so what does that say about your entire argument. Your envy isn't completely masked by your tech-arrogance. The fact is that the general public could care less about the 'browser war' or Firefox. If its installed and they can access google and ebay its a good browser in thier mind. This utter drivel will make no impact on that what so ever. So lets stop making the same points over and over again, and get Mike to drop this thread which is so obviously so far of topic the letters cf haven't even been used in a sentence. -Adam On Tue, 7 Dec 2004 14:28:14 -0800, Rob <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > And intranet systems are always designed with one > > browser in mind and one only, > > Always? are you sure about that?
