  2. Re:Uh-uh on Microsoft Is Planning To Renew IE Development · · Score: 2, Interesting

    IMHO, many or most of the web developers available today don't know how to develop web page with good compatibility and accessibility is because of their arrogance and ignorance, and partially, lack of good guidance of web developing.

    However, we are all arrogant and ignorant, nobody can change this. So a good guide of web developing is the solution to the problem.

    But the web was constructed in such a quick manner that most of the developers are not well trained. I bet, third of the web developers around the world don't know what or where is W3C. I also bet, fifth of the web developers around the world don't know ssh and scp, or even ftp. I can even bet tenth of the web developers of the world don't know the difference between Internet Explorer and Internet. And those well payed web developers are so well payed and pround of themselves that, I believe, half or two third of the web developers around the world don't show any respect to people with disabilities, like blindness and deafness.

    Nonetheless, the bubble of web was broken so quickly that though some wise people saw the problem here, and provided the solutions like xhtml and css, nobody in the avalanch will care about it anymore. As the web has broken, who cares about the flaw of the web anymore.

    Now everything has calmed down, and dawn of light arrived again. But these can not be a solution to the arrogant people. The solutions to that people could be a law that enforce them to show respect to the people with disability and improve the accessiblity of their products and fierce competetion.

    As the new Internet Explorer, it may improve the CSS and XHTML support, but I am wondering what kind of trick they will play to keep web developers stupid and arrogant and happy and dreaming...

    I believe they are DOM related javascript, there is a "document.all" to refer an object in IE, and KHTML either, correct me if it is not, and many web developer simply use it rather than the W3C standard "document.getElementById()" function. And unless gecko get enough marcket share, I don't think those lazy web developers will change "document.all" to "document.getElementById" And I believe this will happen eventually.

    if you drag a disk to the place of transh can, you will find a big "eject" button rather than a "trash can". maybe your OS X is different from mine.
