NotJustBrowsing it is obvious that we will never agree on any of these issues so best of luck with your browser. I have spent far too much time arguing with you.

hopefully this helps

what accusation? You are the one whole claimed to be the "fanatic" thinking outside the box and being innovative and being persecuted for your vision.Being certain of yourself doesn't make you right and taking precautions is not a bad thing either. to that I'll respond with your own words...

Java is a great language but I don't think it could ever replace C/C++. OS's are still written in C/C++, games need the low level processing speed to mange memory and graphics efficiently.Maybe I am wrong but can Java really compete in these areas?

Did you just call yourself a fool? It is not that wiser people are full of doubts, they know better than to act without thinking of the consequences first.Nobody is going to "open up their minds" as long as you are making up your own definitions and making false claims.

Mozilla released Gecko 1.8.1.2 onFebruary 23, 2007 and are working on 1.9 for the projected Novemeber 2007 release of Firefox 3.When was the last time MS updated the IE engine? I don't know if the IE7 engine is available for .Net 3.0 but other than that the last IE engine updates were in 2001 and when ever MS release XP SP2 (couple years ago).So I am a bully for correcting your offensive and inaccurate statements about me?Yeah there is only 2 members, how did you know? (in case you don't catch on that is sarcasm)I don't consider being biased against a browser that makes my job much harder a bad thing. Maybe once IE slips far enough then MS will wake up and provide the things developers have been asking for for years.

if you want to have some fun research Memory leaks and Closures in IE

nope, they are search patterns.The code I gave you extends the native javascript String object. The 3 extended functions use regexp to find white space and strip it.

I agree they are very powerful. I don't use them enough to retain what I learn each time and I just can't bring myself to take the time to learn.

I can write basic regexp but I usually have to go looking for help

Yes I'll give Bill a call tonight...developers have been after MS for years from this. I don't expect you to fix it, it is just a complete contrifdiction for you to, now, say you support standards when you use the IE engine.No I don't tell a client that, I develop the site to look the same in all browsers, it can be a hard job to do but it is necessary if oyu are a developer. If you knew a little more about web design then you would have made such a foolish statement.MS has admitted it's shortcomings in IE and that is why they created conditional comments to allow you to insert different code for IE to make up for it's lack of standards support.Yes I am biased toward IE and so is anyone else who has ever designed a serious web site. And you are a biased programmer because you promote IE. So what?!?Do a little research before you assume anything about a subject you are unfamiliar with.

glad you like it...I hate reg exp...I avoid them if at al possible

I don't know of anyway to do that other than simulating an alert box with your own custom code.

windows hosting is generally more expensive especially if you want SQL Server.Yes ASP is MS. It is the grandfather of ASP.Net.

I would gladly like to point out that IE has dropped below 80% usage and IE6 in particular has dropped below 50%http://marketshare.hitslink.com/report.asp...e=M&qpsp=97

nice try but that solves nothing. Being able to use your own custom stylesheets does not make IE implement CSS any better. Arrogant statements like that are why I will never use you browser. Again nice try..do these sound familiar? First off your first quote promotes not paying attention ot standards at all.Secondly IE is, for the most part, not following standards so that means you are not supporting standards! They are doing their own thing and ignoring everyone else and that is why IE is on the decline. they have slipped below 80% browser share.You openly admitted you know very little about web standards, now you claim you promote standards as much as possible??? Come on at least pick one story and stick with it.

so much unnecessary code. I find it funny that MS still uses HTML 4.01 Transitional.

boy do I feel dumb for missing that

place this in an external js file and include it at the start of your page. //extending string methods String.prototype.trimLeft = new Function("return this.replace(/^\\s+/,'')") String.prototype.trimRight = new Function("return this.replace(/\\s+$/,'')") String.prototype.trim = new Function("return this.replace(/^\\s+|\\s+$/g,'')") This will add the three methods to all strings. I believe this code was compliments of jesh.

Java is already a popular language in fact some suggest it is the most popular http://www.tiobe.com/tpci.htm

As much as I love ASP.Net, PHP/MySql gives you far more options on portability and hosting. Those options usually include saving money which I also love

I was thinking about this last night and I am unsure how you will accomplish this, perhaps you may need to get the user to iniitalize and array when they setup the console and pass in what variables they want to watch.

Why do to beat around the bush on every major question we have asked you? What is your position on web standards? Are they good or are they bad? You seem to flip flop back and forth when your arguments get challenged. The "others" have pointed out you are being offensive and arrogant. What do you thing triggered such a strong reaction in the first place? Blame me for what? That I began persuing a career at a very young age? That my websites and applications are standards compliant, clean, efficient, and look and work the same in all browsers? That is only possible because of the efforts of those pushing web standards.You have done very little except stir up controversy and haven't really let us know what your position is let alone support it with good arguments.You seem to have been caught off that we don't think your browsaer is the greatest thing ever. But what did oyu expect? We deal with standards problems in IE everyday and it costs us time and money to have to accomodate IE's short comings (which your browser has also because you based it on the IE engine). I cannot support a product or point of view that threatens the progress the internet has made on standards. Nobody wants to relive the IE and Netscape days.
