Didn't seem like my first post went through, so here it is again... I just spent a few days putting up a simple website and it was the most painful experience ever. Granted I haven't coded in HTML/css for a long time but I have over 15 years of programming experience so this shouldn't have been this difficult. Yet I haven't been so frustrated. It goes to show that browser technology hasn't moved in a long long time. Google Chrome is a fantastic browser but in the end it's just another browser to add to the many that are out there already. There's just too many variations between browsers and platforms and their implementation of HTML/css. I can see this getting even worse as we move to the cloud and start creating large web applications. Are we to write 5 times the amount of code to account for these variations?
I would love to see a standard implementation for creating web apps. Instead of just re-writing the Javascript VM how about incorporating Java directly into the browser. I don't mean as just a stand alone plug-in but as a component that behaves just like any other element in the page and can interact with it. So if I re-size my page, the Java component should re-size as well. So that it doesn't look like a plug- in and sit in some pre-defined area of the page. I would think that this type of technology would further the web application space more than anything. Just my $0.02. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Chromium Discussion mailing list: [email protected] View archives, change email options, or unsubscribe: http://groups.google.com/group/chromium-discuss -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
