IE7 To Support XMLHTTP Requests

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the new-tricks-for-an-old-dog dept.

Ruliz Galaxor writes "IEBlog posts that Internet Explorer 7 will support a native XMLHTTPRequest object as many other browsers currently do. This will mean no more ActiveX MSXML objects to implement AJAX functionality. It looks like Microsoft is seriously trying to make the lives of us web developers easier. Of course you'll still need to use the Microsoft.XMLHTTP ActiveX object if you want to support IE6 and older."

    How about a decent operating system now?

    Yeah, like something other than Windows.

    If everyone in the world used Firefox, Firefox would suck ass. Imagine if every web site had a "designed for Firefox" logo and used vendor-specific CSS properties like "-moz-opacity." Imagine if every web site said, "to continue, click 'Install' when the installation box appears" and a wave of XPI spyware swept over the earth.

    A web browser monoculture is bad, whether it's "YOU MUST USE IE" or "YOU MUST USE FIREFOX."
