I don't copletly agree with that. As long as you don't break specs it is possible to do something in tomcat to deal with errors in browsers. (Like missbehavior in the headers of a http request)
If a browser has a bug that you can't deal with, without breaking the spec there isn't much you can do. There might also be browser bugs that you can't avoid at all. E.G. if a browser doesn't send a cookie under certain conditions, what would you suggest to change on the server side to change that. (I don't know if this happens here) P.S: In this case you don't have to alienate all Mac IE5 users because there is workaround: using encodeUrl(). Which should be used anyway, because otherwise you will alienate all users that disable cookies. (Which will be more than Mac OS 9 users with IE 5) > -----Urspr�ngliche Nachricht----- > Von: Joe Laffey [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Gesendet: Freitag, 8.
