Your laziness and contempt for your end-users is staggeringly unprofessional. > > OTOH, once a page works fine in e.g. FireFox, you can rest assured ~ > 100% that it's going to work too in Opera, Safari and Chrome... Not necessarily. :)

Or, because it supports ActiveX in an internal corporate intranet environment, where webapps can create and manipulate MSOffice objects to integrate existing business documents with database-driven webapps. Your other "Big 4" browser alternatives fail miserably in this regard. Matt Kruse

Also, given that innerHTML is as well in the 4 other major browsers, and given that it works there better although differently than in IEs, I can say that 4 browsers out of 5 have a better innerHTML implementation than the botched one (Microsoft's IE). -- Jorge. |
