Front Page – thanks for joining in the conversation. I’m sure we’d all love to see some of the sites you’ve developed that work on IE5. Have you tried them out on Firefox, Google Chrome, Mac vs. PC, etc.? A larger and larger percentage of web visitors are NOT using Internet Explorer and we need to make sure we write web site that work for ALL browser.

Simply put, this means writing STANDARDS COMPLIANT code. The only problem is that many time Internet Explorer ignores commonly held standards. Hence the problem.

Why do you need all these weird coding to develop a website? My web designs are never browser-selective, they even work the same with IE5

Oh, and another thing. MS is not the leader any more, see http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp
I remember when MS first gave away IE for free, and sitting in at a MS convention and hearing them boast that their browser share was increasing (yeah, because you had to have it!). But even just this year MS still ramble as if people like the browser because they HAVE to have it. So sad. MS can’t even force people to use their browser, they’re losing market share.

People are starting to wake up.Thankfully!

IE is not just the worst for the above reasons, but also because MS don’t give you any decent tools to figure out why their own browser doesn’t display things right, or operate Javascript correctly. If MS seriously wants to be a web enabled company, as they declared over a decade ago, then wouldn’t they support developers by giving them tools so make their stuff work?

And developer tools ? please ! don’t even mention it, I install it every time I reinstall my software and without fail I open Notebook to fix code, because it’s faster. Firebug rules!!

I woke up this morning after having a wonderful dream; a web without IE!

mathcreative – great response. There are tests out showing IE 8 blocking more malware, and identifying more phishing sites.

But, some don’t trust the test as they were paid for by Microsoft.

Here’s a link for yourself:

But, this doesn’t address the fundamental problems with ActiveX controls in general… Still a problem.

Thanks for the conversation.

bad browser Internet Explorer really is (we haven’t even talked about security…) ” I thought that IE8 was more secure then firefox.

I like Firefox and am okay with Chrome but I’m going to keep using IE until someone shows me a way to make Firefox work with Outlook easily.
