Internet Explorer's LACK of standards

July 29, 2004 Posted by mitch | internet, technology | 0 Comments

It has just come to my attention that my website here doesn't render correctly in the latest version of IE... (on XP atleast). And, all I can say is... get a decent browser. I mean, with all the security problems with the browser AND its lack of support for even the basic standards (full CSS1 comes to mind), and on top of it, Microsoft thought it would throw in a couple of non standard stuff that it can use as well. Its horrible. Sure, i know, windows users don't care because "everything just works for me". But the web is suppose to be a medium where it doesn't matter what OS, or browser, or anything else your using. The experience is supposed to be the same for everyone. Hence why standards are important. Last I checked, this site renders fully compliant with standards, except for my news feeds.... which I will be fixing as soon as I get around to it...
