I just don't see any justification for absolutely identical interpretation. nothing in the world works that way. Why should web browsers? [quote]And yes, I don't think that the fact that NN and IE chose 6 years a different interpretation helped the field of web deisgn very much. Having to test for browsers or resolution with JS didn mean you were a JS Guru, neither meant a NN resize bug that you knew how to work around that you were the HTML guru.[/quote] No, adding cookie-cutter scripts to your page at any point in time means nothing other than that you can copy and paste. That still has nothing to do with anything. [quote]6 years ago people were using the spacer gif, and that sais a lot.[/quote] About what? :confused: [quote]But in a world were XHTML/CSS is the way it seems stupid to me to loose time/code to get a site too look the same on many browsers. [/quote] But if you approcah things the right way, with proper standard code in hand from the start, you don't have to lose time. That's the whole point. A huge part of the problem here is still the fact that people aren't learning to code properly. [quote]Because you can do that , and you feel good about that, has no relevance, because it doesn't have to be this way and it shouldn't bother you doing the same thing easier than today.[/quote] This comment is so off base I don't even know where to start. It's not about being able to do extra work and feeling elite or any such nonsense... [quote]You just can open a jar that didn't have to be that tight in the first place,[/quote] Or you can stop using your feet to try opening your jar. No, the metaphor doesn't make a lot of sense, but neither does yours... [quote]And aesteticaly speaking, I see no gain from this situation either[/quote] Nor should you, as aesthetics ahve nothing to do with the issue [quote]as I see no technical one, but this is what I have been trying to say all along.[/quote] Again, the differences between browser early spurred a huge number of people to do some really amazing things while in the course of accomodating for those differences. Things which never would have been done otherwise, things which have brought a large portion of the high quality web design world to where it is today. Web standards, and the compliance to them by software creators have come a long way since those days. We are at a place that is pretty damn good as far as cross-browser compatibility goes. You need to keep the push for standardization in perspective. The standards are there, and they are open to interpretation. That's the way the world works, and that's what makes things progress, whether we're talking web design, construction, or anything else. If it didn't work that way, we'd all still be living in mud and brush huts eating raw meat. Loading...
