If it's a repost oh well. Just made me smile :)

I agree with the song, whoever uses IE should use Chrome. :D

Or anything that isn't Trident-based. Chrome (webkit) is pretty much the same as Safari, Konqueror (in webkit mode), Arora, Epiphany etc.

Love it! My new favorite song :lolflag:

I saw the thread title and thought "that's pretty accurate"...

Oh look, bashing IE again. ;)

Internet Explorer's still around!? Wow. Microsoft should just ditch it and make a new one.

IE vs. Developers is right.

It's always a fight making my javascript work correctly in IE, which is why I usually use premade frameworks (jQuery, dojo, MooTools, etc.); they've already taken the time to fix the IE idiosyncrasies.

Even still, I've seen jQuery plugins that don't render right in IE.

Even still, I've seen jQuery plugins that don't render right in IE.True enough. It's always a crap shoot. C'mon sixes...daddy needs this to render properly...

I don't use jQuery plugins much at all. I use jQuery for itself, and anything else I need I write myself.

But in all seriousness, I don't see why IE uses attatchEvent while everyone else uses addEventListener. There's no benefits to attatchEvent, and it would make everybody's lives easier if they just used the de facto standard. (I hear they're fixing it in IE9) Duplicate this with other idiosyncrasies.

(I hear they're fixing it in IE9)Don't hold your breath...you'll just turn blue and pass out...

IE was the reason I gave up web design. Kids are spoiled nowadays with jQuery and the like. We had to do our browser detection the old-fashioned way (hey, even server-side!). I had a PHP library that would generate tables from SQL queries, tabbed interfaces and other goodies, in IE and "everyone else" mode (and that included Konqueror which, even then, was already more compliant than IE). Ah, those were the days! *sigh*

I was one of the old "Don't do browser detection, use fall-throughs". Lo-and-behold, our code lasted longer.
