I hang my head in shame. I know that this is a problem. But maybe companies' intranet applications can require a bit more from the web browsers than other websites. If you write down what the user interface looks like that we have, then you get a pretty good list of things not to do in web applications. But what can I do? I try to argue as well as I can. For example, the belief prevails that a web application can find out how wide in pixels is a certain string on the client: in the CSS file you specify that you want to use the foo font in the bar size, and then you can compute on the server side how wide is the string.
