Re: Browser compliance

I think you must just enjoy pain Nathan <grin>

There is no way in this day and age that I want to worry about browser compatibility. that's the job of the framework. I want to spend time maintaining and enhancing my applications - now worry ing about how MS or Firfox or Apple or ... have screwed up my browser interface this week.

I had to look up the definition of "transpiler" in order to get a feel for
where you were coming from. Don't feel too badly about finding a function
that isn't supported in IE10. It takes effort to achieve browser
compatibility for both CSS and JavaScript. It's not easy at first, but it
does get easier as you begin to build out your CSS and JavaScript
framework. After a while you get a feel for what works consistently across
the major browsers.

Someone is probably thinking, just get one of many popular CSS and
JavaScript frameworks and solve your problem that way. I think that would
be shallow advice. I think it is better to learn the nuances of CSS and
JavaScript yourself.

I have about a dozen tiny CGIDEV2 apps. The one I'm looking at now is
about a page and a half (HTML with embedded JS). I got burned by a JS
function that's not supported in IE10, and I'm considering options to
ensure browser compliance. I've been looking at transpilers, but they all
seem like massive overkill (I need a source project with a directory
structure when I can almost put all the code on a single screen?).

Anyone have any thoughts or advice?
