I read this a lot, "should adhere to web standards". What are and where are these standards?The simplest case, take the XMLHttpRquest object in javascript. There isnt a standard way of obtaining it. Layout related things have issues between open source browsers itself. Ofcourse there are toolkits such as dojo which make it easier for you, but they are also just acknowledging the lack of standards in the web browser world, and doing the hardpart for you. Hence as of now, all websites have to understand what browsers theyl support. > > <gyan> > > Reminds me of my college days when instead of using > > Matlab, I made it > > a point to do all my assignments in Octave and > > explicitly print > > *Generated using Octave* on every single graph I > > submitted.
