IE versus NS frustration

[Velocd]

I'm terribly sorry, but my respect for you as a webdeveloper has dropped to an all-time low, Xenon. Your idiotic 'solutions' on vB.org for certain issues were only barely tolerable, but this is just beyond ridiculous.

No reason to be so insulting about the issue, Kura. You make yourself look more of a disrespectful fool to others. I was once annoyed by Mozilla's functionality in past builds, and thought of ways to at least direct people to using IE. Now I see it is up to standards with IE.

Speaking of erroneous, IE certainly is not a "crippled" browser, that's more off-the-wall then anything Xenon spoke about.

I'm sorry, but if he finds it offensive he should not make such insulting and wrong statements or take such bizarre measures on websites.

I don't see how you can say that. IE has ridiculously crippled CSS1 and CSS2 support on certain parts. It is severely crippled in usability. It lacks most of the useful things that every other 'major' webbrowser has (Opera, Safari, Konqueror, Galeon, Mozilla, Omniweb), and it is a direct security leak to your entire computer. Why should a BROWSER be part of your OS in such a way that a website can erase your entire Harddrive?

I'd say IE is quite a crippled browser. It renders crappy markup properly and renders proper markup crappily. How is that not crippled?

Ok, now that's enough. I promised Chen i'll stay objektive about you, but that's one step too far now....

This thread has also gone too far, so closed. Some final closing facts, however, such that you can make your own opinions:

1. Mozilla is designed to render pages according to modern XHTML standards.
2. Internet Explorer often renders many pages, including those coded improperly by the webmaster, better than Mozilla.
3. Many people use Internet Explorer for three primary reasons: it is simple to use (for the most part), it is already installed in Windows, and as such, it is very fast to launch. Many use Mozilla because of its standards compliance, its improved security, and, blindly, because it is not made by Microsoft.
4. Both are extremely powerful browsers that are forced to try to keep up with a continuously changing set of rules put forth by the W3C. The matter of which to choose is still a matter of preference.
