Internet Explorer Killed the radio by Anonymous Coward · 2004-10-04 08:49 · Score: -1, Troll

I don't see any excuse, aside from ignorance, for anyone using internet explorer. I just don't see it. Please tell me why we are forced to have our very Windows lives wrought with this invasive and corrupted application? It pains me to use IE when downloading FireFox for the first time (because I've had to reinstall windows!). My attempts to rid my system of ie are futile. A simple uninstall/on-off switch would be nice MS!

I've only used Firfox so far

Maybe Firfox is a rebadged IE. I only use Firefox, so I wouldn't know about Firfox.

You have to use Javascript? Please get yourself a site that does Java or PHP. Or even a Redmond alternative if you like to keep *that* computer updated all the time (which you will have to do anyway).

*If* I use JavaScript it's for simple input checking (forms) and maybe a menu chooser once in a while. One that has been tested by others that is.

Do not use it for your own dynamic HTML stuff. Do that in flash or in Java (flash is probably less a hassle on the client side) if at all.
