IE7 Compatibility a Developer Nightmare

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the one-better-than-six dept.

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."

    Jesus, do Slashdot editors actually *do* anything? Seriously. Do any of them actually *read* the articles they're posting, or is it all about pageviews and keywords?

    You must be new here... :P

    Using "M$" for Microsoft removed any questions I may have had about the objectivity of the author. I found it difficult to finish reading after I hit that point. It's like listening to Rush Limbaugh or Al Franken for the news. Why bother? You're only gonna get half of it.

    Seriously, you guys that pick out the stories, shouldn't that term be an automatic round-file?

    Hey! What is wrong with you! I do not hate MS... well a bit but what they do good sometimes is good. And I am very neutral to software companies if they do their jobs well. About the IE issue I already commented that it doesn't still work for me... here is what I found on google: /a co-developer of mine has reported this to be an IE7 problem after searching that day sorry for not able to find what he did then/ http://www.quirksmode.org/bugreports/archives/expl orer_56_windows/index.html it says: When using input type=image as a submit button, only Firefox sends the name-value pair to the server. There's an unobtrusive JavaScript fix included, which makes Opera, Firefox and IE6 behave the same (not tested in other browsers).
