IE7 Compatibility a Developer Nightmare
yavori writes "Internet Explorer 7 has kicked in at last on all MS Windows OS running PCs because of the fact M$ decided to force it's users to migrate through update. In fact this has started a IE7 Web Developers Nightmare. The article actually explains that most of the small company B2C sites may just fall from grace because of IE7 incompatibility. One of the coolest thing IE7 is unable to do is actually processing form data when clicked on an INPUT field of TYPE IMG... which is pretty uncool for those using entire payment processes with such INPUT fields."
You must be new here.
Check out my uid. I've been here a while. What's frustrating is that Slashdot used to be good. After they went public, the quality of the articles have gone downhill dramatically. It seems like half of the articles they post these days are like this one: completely untrue, completely unfounded, and barely literate. It's unfortunate that the Slashdot editors have taken such a massive amount of traffic, and a large amount of inertia, and essentially shit on it. If any of the editors did even a tiny bit of work (spell checking, reading the articles, checking to see if the same article was posted within the past few articles), Slashdot could be what it used to. Now, it's just a rapidly declining brand (like Netscape) that is failing due to gross negligence and neglect of the owners.
I can assure you that if I had a web site with anywhere near this kind of traffic, I wouldn't throw it down the toilet the way these guys are.
What really needs to happen is that the shareholders of VA Software Corp need to sue OSTG to get the current managers (and Slashdot editors) fired, and some responsible ones in their place. The way that OSTG is being managed is quite literally, probably criminal.
