As always its really amusing and it is a good time pass to read a flamewar thread between vim and emacs. Its intresting to see the things people come up with to justify their editor and to undermine the other.
The browser can support any number of programming languages/scripts/technologies like javascript,vbscript,AJAX,FLASH,applet,activex.....etc.
But the point is *If the resulting rendered HTML code follows standard, then the browser should render it according to the standard*
for example in gmail or google maps, new data is brought from the server using xmlhttp and inserted into a place using DOM manipulation, but as far as the resulting HTML is standard, the page should be also rendered according to standard.
Well said.
My definitions
Arts: That which depicts the nature as it is
example, a painting of a flower, a sculpture, clay model etc.
Science: That which tries to explain the nature as it is.
example: big bang theory, H2+O2--->H2O
Engineering: Study of compromises? How do build a system that works.
Maths:It is really a form of art. Also used to study science? model the nature using mathematics, apply scientific principles see the results etc. It is a tool for engineering - cast the engineering problem with science and math in paper solve it. build a system that works.
So where does programming fits here? Its just an art with a little bit of maths(modelling) with a little bit of engineering with a little bit of common sense.

clickinng on the "why preview" button, the first bullet is
Firefox support
rest assured we haven't abandoned our firefox users and are working on the issues continuously
We also have a smart autocomplete system, type "tom hanks birth" slowly to see it in action (best with Firefox).
In the early days one can see lots of "Best with internet explorer". 'It is nice to see best with firefox for a change'
> There are little things that annoy the computer geeks and tech nerds but nothing your typical 60 year old grandmother or 16 school girl will care about.
The old grandmother and the 16 year school girl are not annoyed because the geeks and the tech nerds spend countless hours to find a way around IE quirks. I develop webpags for living. When ever I get new concept to develop, it takes 3-4 hours to develop it in firefox (excellent compliance to standards). Then comes the nighmare of making it to work in IE (literally takes days to make it work completely). The company does not care if this product works in firefox or any other browser but it should work in IE. Recently I had a hell of a time with windowless selects (thanks to the geeks who figured the way around it)
On the otherhand I welcome IE7 if it follows standards but otherwise too bad, I think they will face extinction by the pressure from other browsers eventually.
probably GR1NCH, you and me have wasted a couple of kilobytes of hd. We may also be wasting 15 seconds of atleast 30% of./ers (those who read all the posts)

I, for one, welcome our new gesture overlords
No. If I were the RIAA I will sue the capacitor maker, lightning rod maker and finally you :)
Am I not storing the song or whatever in my brain??

You have a good point here. But in my experiance "works best with firefox" is equivalent to it follows standards.
We also have a smart autocomplete system, type "tom hanks birth" slowly to see it in action (best with Firefox).

there wont be any space in the browser to look at pages, only toolbars. someone has to come up with a toolbar organizing plugin may be?
