- jkush 20y agoDid you use a library such as open rico or something based on prototype? If not, consider porting your existing code to use them as those libraries have solved many of the complexities of writing cross browser AJAX code.

Two days and 10,000 alert boxes later I had it working. It's a necessary evil. No one enjoys it, but if you don't make the fixes you'll prevent a lot of people (including myself, a FF user) from ever even trying your website. If I try it once and it completely breaks, I'm never going to come back. If there are one or two non-critical features that are creating all of the bugs, then perhaps remove them initially and add them once you've fixed the compatibility bugs.

I relied on it heavily when writing/debugging my web app user interface. http://www.amazon.com/Dynamic-HTML-Definitive-Reference-Html/dp/0596527403/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/103-3913841-7071807?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1177690841&sr=8-1 http://www.amazon.com/Dynamic-HTML-Definitive-Reference-Html/dp/0596527403/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/103-3913841-7071807?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1177690841&sr=8-1
