+1 for jQuery. There have been a few odd js things that have come back to bite me but sticking with jQuery has been pretty awesome. Since I use Firefox in all of my development work, I occasionally get a customer calling with some weirdness that ends up being something in IE that I need to code around, but that is getting rare.

The CSS stuff is really annoying, more so than javascript, but if it is ugly in IE I just blame that on Microsoft. As long as it functions, I can live with ugly.

We use jquery because, apart from being hugely powerful, it handles 99% of the browser differences for you. To be honest, IE is the only fly in the ointment. The others all behave pretty consistently. No dumbing down required - in fact, just the opposite.

In dealing with customer web pages (order entry) how are others handling browser differences?
Do you dumb the features down to a level most browser accept or code sections for different browsers? This is search& data entry& not so much point& click,& project on a skinny budget.

Depending upon whose stats (this is w3schools),
Internet Exp8 16.2% IE7 7.8% IE6 6.7% Total 30.7
Firefox 4.0 0.6% 3.6 35.2% 3.5 6.1% Total 45.8
Chrome 6.0 1.4% 5.0 15.1% 4.0 0.3% Total 17.0
Safari S5 2.6% ... 3.5

We want to set a minimum standard for browsers.
All of this will be in rpgle cgi.
