BTW, concrete damage to you is being done by this; while I'm fixing something that should not have been a problem, I'm not implementing favorites functionality in the Weblogs.com sidebar. Sure, in this case it may not damage you any if you don't use it, but it's the only concrete example I can give you.
I am annoyed.
Works fine in Mozilla. Guess what IE5 (not 5.5) does? It does not retrieve elements based on name, it looks for ID! But wait, there's already a function (IE-specific) that retrieves elements based on ID, which is document.all. Apparently, despite the hint given in the function name itself, Microsoft can't figure out what to retrieve elements based on.
I have to agree with them. I have been trying to implement the contraction-expansion this site does in IE on windows in Mozilla. I'm pretty sure now I can do it. But I want it to work in both, not just Mozilla! So I try to use the document.getElementsByName function. It should retrieve a list of elements in an HTML document that have a NAME="" attribute that matches the argument of the function.
The Web Standard Project has elaborated on their distaste for IE5.5.
Interesting thought!
I am simply saying that permanent use and resale licenses to changeable information (software, art, literature, music, movies) which can be traded securely, without loss or duplication, in a public market, is a form of currency.
Wow! You must read the last two questions of this Slashdot interview with Jordan Pollack!
Please... no metaphors! If you can possibly avoid them, please do.
