A Sin to Use Firefox?

Wed, 27 Oct 2004 9:40 UTC

I have one word for these cry-babies:

STANDARDS!

If they would bother to write good, standardized HTML instead of Microsoft hacks, then they wouldn’t have cross-browser, compatibility issues—with the rest of the browsers, that is. They may still need to implement hacks to solve IE’s problems, and that’s exactly where the problem lies: with IE.

Geez… How the hell can one write something like that?

Are other browsers simply inferior, or is IE just that much better at handling faulty HTML?

That’s about the worst argument I’ve ever heard.

I also thought a long time ago, that the ie is simply more tolerant about HTML bugs. But that’s totaly wrong…

Example:
Internet Explorere doesn’t ignore newlines, there are 1-2 pixel with spacings if you do a linebreak…
If you like to avoid the margin of a form you need to put it between

and
:

And so on…

I think the Mozilla(Firefox…) has got the best HTML/CSS implementation…

It looks like WordPress uses strip_tags() or something rather than htmlentities(). I think that’s worth changing. :-)

Yeah, I’ll definitely look into that.
