while i agree, i found microsoft's tortuous path to standards full of dark corners. case in point: some time ago, i was using some simple <canvas> pages. of course, to get them to work on IE6 & 7 i used excanvas.js, which made a not-so-bad job. some things were missing, but it was doable. also, on IE7 i preferred to use 'standards mode', since it made some CSS and box layouts not as bad as IE6 when IE8 came out, i tried it. the new 'standards mode' was slightly more standard CSS and box layouts; but excanvas.js just didn't work. after some reading, i found that IE8 standards killed VML (the MS alternative to SVG), which excanvas used to fake the canvas element. finally, i had to force "IE7-standards mode" everywhere. effectively disabling any IE8 advantage (nothing to weep about, fortunately). tl;dr; in my case, IE8 is less useful than IE7 -- Javier -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
