Re: MIDRANGE-L Digest, Vol 2, Issue 1528

This discussion was recently had on the web400 forums. If you assume
distribution to the Internet, i.e., the whole world, then yes, this comment
make sense. If you program for a company's intranet or internal use, odds are
specific approved software is a given, and programming for corporate-approved
software makes sense.

Where I work, the official browser is IE (currently v6). We run explicit
checks on the user's browser and version. If they aren't using approved
versions, they don't get to our applications. They're prompted to call the
friendly IT department to get their browsers updated.

I'm a big believer in web standards, such as XHTML, CSS2, etc. etc. It will be
very nice if/when current browsers (IE, Opera, Mozilla, Konquerer, etc.)
correctly support w3c standards. Also nice would be consistent support for the
DOM and the scripting to process it.
