hallo mario,

nur der vollständigkeit wegen hab ich mich mal schlau gemacht.
es handelt sich hier um einen microsoft trick:

I can't agree with you more. This is a very well debated discussion. Here's my view and why. I'm pretty biased about it. Almost to the point that it's a religeon.

MSIE 5.5+ (mostly 6.0), Nav 7, Mozilla, etc... They all pretty much support 90% of the W3 standards. Enough to say that it makes my job much much easier these days.

However, they all have their little "extra" features. Especially MSIE 6 and Nav7.

The little trick to insert wherever the cursor is was never defined by W3 (or at least the HTML/Javascript version we're using today.)

So, Microsoft said, "Hey, no one else has this. Let's do it ourselves and be better than everyone else".

Pros and cons for that. I think Microsoft did the right thing in getting the feature defined, however, they didn't bother (well at least I don't know) to submit the feature to w3 so everyone else can use it.

blab blab blab... back to my point. Anyway, I would only write and support standard code. Why? because it's consistant, it's the same UI overall, and the number one reason?

Instead of coding,

function insertCursor(){
Simply insert cursor;
}

It'll be like this:

function insertCursor(){
If MSIE 6.0 {Do it this way}
else if MSIE 5.5 (do it another way)
else if NAV 7 (do it yet another way)
else if NAV4 (alert "Why in the hell are you still using this god forsacken browser?")
}

It makes coding a complete mess, hard to read, if you want to tweak the feature to do something more or less, you have to make the change in more than 1 area.

It's a coding nightmare.

Heh, that's my point. Coming from a company who likes bells and whistles for MSIE and Nav 4, 6, and 7, our code is a joke to have someone new try to figure it out. (if nav4, never use tables, only layers). ugh.


da hier jetzt eh alles auf english ist, dürfte das ja gehen


bis auf weiteres, werde ich mir das nicht antun, da ja auch nicht alle was davon haben.
