Standard compliance

Following are lyrics from track “Lemon tree” by Fool’s Garden

I’d like to change my point of view
I feel so lonely
I’m waiting for you
But nothing ever happens and I wonder

I wonder how
I wonder why
Yesterday you told me ’bout the blue blue sky
And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon-tree
I’m turning my head up and down
I’m turning turning turning turning turning around
And all that I can see is just another lemon-tree

I as a web developer have suffered too many set backs while trying to code some thing that works fine in all browsers or at least in majority of browsers. But every now and then I face issues that just make me turn my head up and down and I turn around and around and all that I can see is just another lemon tree.

IE not supported

 Latest cross browser issue I faced was not due to my coding and I was not supposed to fix and above all developers simply said, F**K IE.

There are many problems in IE, memory leak, some faulty garbage collection routines and security holes and so on. So you end up using FireFox. But then there are people on this planet who will eat shit but use FireFox. For people whom all this sounds :-/ confusing, mind it web browsers are hitting personal lives of many people, mine also.

Here is a link which explains why me (too!) use FireFox -> http://www.webdevout.net/firefox-myths#standards_compliant

I tried to use Opera as one of my very good friend Dr. Abhishek Puri pointed out some problems with FF. But then I was used to FF and later on I discovered Google was offering me money $-) if I pushed forward FF.

Kool!

But I remember my conversation with Adnan and we concluded that W3 is simply acting as UN, Microsoft as US and FireFox as North Korea. W3 advocates standards and rules and Microsoft says I dont give a damn to you and FF says we will keep testing our weapons.

    Agreed. Opera does score over Firefox in many ways, but personally for me it SUCKS. The interface is pathetic.
