Hence a lot of code gets written(habits get built), before the standard document comes around. So the average web developer always has to write something like this for completeness. if(firefox) { //do firefoxy way }else if(IE6) { //do IE6 way } ..and so on You can say M$ flouts standards but it does do good stuff also like the XMLHttpRequest object itself. Moreover even if IE isnt standards compliant, it is the browser of 90% of your visitors. So ignoring it for standards isnt an option any web dev has. These references are good, but as long as the compliance isnt consistent, ul see code like above, and a hall of shame. > - -- > Ashish Shukla आशीष शुक्ल > http://wahjava.wordpress.com/ > ·-- ·- ···· ·--- ·- ···- ·- ·--·-· --· -- ·- ·· ·-·· ·-·-·- -·-· --- -- > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- > Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) > > iD8DBQFIGFjfHy+EEHYuXnQRAvBeAKDabnmmYW+QZepuz2+du99auEJNKwCdHEXN > 8oONxDAsxBhG9W27WhVzspM= > =hcwA > -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- > > _______________________________________________ > ilugd mailinglist -- [email protected] > http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd > Next Event: http://freed.in - February 22-24, 2008 > Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi > http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ > -- Puneet http://sahyog.blogspot.com/ Latest Post: javac -g _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- [email protected] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Next Event: http://freed.in - February 22-24, 2008 Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/
