AP reports on renewed "Browser War"

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the i'll-believe-it-when-I-see-it dept.

An anonymous reader writes "CNN and others are reporting an Associated Press story on "the revived browser war" with Mozilla paired against Microsoft. It seems the 1.0 release is creating some waves out there. " Considering most people consider the war long since over, I can't imagine this mattering much.

    because IE renders most Mozilla pages fine, but mozilla doesn't render all IE pages fine.

    Ohmygod this is funny!

    Another way to write your sentence above is:

    "because Mozilla renders most IE pages fine, but IE doesn't render all Mozilla pages fine."

    Since Mozilla is the 'better browser' but doesn't accept sloppy coding, IE has an advantage.

    The only reason there is sloppy (i.e. broken) code out there is because MSIE dutifully rendered it without generating any errors that a web designer could address.

    On top of that, Mozilla does have a quirks mode which is enabled unless a site specifically specifies the browser is HTML compliant with a DTD.

    But mostly I liked your circular logic.
