Migrating IE Web Apps to Mozilla

Posted by Hemos on from the moving-it-over dept.

PabloHoffman writes "Have you ever wondered what would it take to make your (unfortunately) IE-only web app to work on Firefox?. IBM published an interesting article about migrating Internet Explorer specific web applications to Mozilla-based browers. It covers basic cross-browser development techniques, and some developing strategies for overcoming the differences between both browsers."

    In my day we didn't have browsers! Web apps should be based on the command line. And no keyboards. We want telepathy.

    And punchcards!

    Everyone has to give in, nobody is right or wrong
    Who are you, Jim Taggart?

    I guess I'm just tired of everyone doing their own thing.
    In Soviet Russia, everyone's thing does you!

    Geesh, this is the one of the most namby-pamby, wishy-washy, cant-we-all-just-get-along posts I've seen (that was modded up) in a long time. I suppose that this might be expected, for a young person living in a socialist country. There, now I will be marked 'troll' for stating the truth.

    When there is a compromise between good and evil, good wins nothing, and evil wins everything - most importantly, it wins the sanction of the good. Suddenly the bad product is a 'valid' alternative to the good, theft is a 'valid' means to support yourself, and deception is as 'valid' a means of discourse as truth.

    The compliant and useful tools like FF and Opera should say it, PROUDLY and LOUDLY, and not just to the slashdotensia. They need to come out and say "Microsoft produces a shoddy product which does not adhere to even itself, while our product on the other hand, is better because of X, Y and Z."

    So tell me "idiot" you are trying to tell me my php app even running on linux cannot authenticate to AD?
