Is that the fault of the browser, or a result of lazy web developers who spit out crappy code (or get Dreamweaver to to it instead) which only works in IE? None of this crap would've happened if M$ had stuck with RFC's, W3C recommendations and IETF standards. Bloody monopolies! FWIW, I get upgrade reports, for an internal web system, as HTML e-mails from our development team internally here at $ORK. I sent them an e-mail this morning informing them most of the IT Operations team do NOT run Windows and it really sux having to log into a Windows terminal server just to read what is essentially just HTML with a bit of javascript! If people don't notify the developers their "products" don't work in non-IE browsers then they (the developers) can't fix the problems - maybe I assume too much? ;) The "official" position in our development team is that we support IE >=5, Firefox >=0.93, and Opera >=7.0. So I'm holding them to it! :) That's my $0.02 -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
