Aaaaaaaaa, and I thought I hated IE before I developed a massive AJAXy web application. Have they even heard of standards over in Redmond?

Ask that again in 8-10 hours.

They must pay careful attention to standards, otherwise they'd have accidentally followed one by now.

No fair! You can't forge machetes, make hovercrafts AND make AJAXy web applications! What's my comparative advantage with you now, producing punctuation?????

[novalis.livejournal.com]

You mean absolute advantage.

I've heard that standards compliance in IE has actually improved lately. Be afraid.

What are you experiencing? Which version?

(partly I *might* know what's up, though probably not if it's within the AJAX component; partly I just collect data points against the "But IE 7 is so much better than 3/4/5/6!" argument.)

This is why, as much as possible, I've stopped writing my own javascript, except as glue. I've become quite fond of Prototype and Scriptaculous, which make everything Just Work.

They recently hired Molly Holzschlag to work on standards issues: http://www.molly.com/2007/01/31/working-together-for-a-better-web/

I'm cynical about Microsoft's ability to change, but it's a good step.

'embrace, extend, extinguish'. When you have 90% marketshare, if you come down with a cold you can define snot as a standard and the market will move to accommodate you.
