is inspired by our discussion further down the board..
It's one of my favorite frustrations. I'm no neophyte to programing etc, knowing enough to do simple cgi coding, but really don't know the world of web system that well. I do know that the more agressive and interactive uses are where there seems to be real standards problems.
I'd love to list my frustrations explicitly here, but they are all internal to my company, which is a _large_ IT firm with a public stance very much favoring adherence to communications standarts, participation in industry consortia, etc. Things like web based screen sharing, various configuration tools, etc all cause me switch over to IE, even though I'm running a very recent version of Mozilla on XP. Some facilities are quite clear that they only work w/ IE, and some have no clear policy, but simply do not work.
Are there really that many things in an interactive images + forms dialog that cannot be done w/ the cgi / html model? |
