Not so fast. As a web developer we still had to contend with the horror of IE5/6/7 for a few more years, and initially WITHOUT anything resembling the utility of something like JQuery!
- tripzilch 7y agoI remember being happy when IE7 came out, because it fixed a bunch of CSS bugs in IE6, and also finally supporting PNG transparency meant that whole new kinds of design were actually possible ... feels so weird knowing what we can do today with CSS and be reasonably sure it works in three major browsers.
- pmarreck 7y agoI was building "IE-only" internal web apps at the time (with increasing disgust) and having to support legacy browsers even if you knew they were just IE was hell. When I finally broke out into open-source and STILL had to support IE BUT ALSO firefox, safari and chrome (did chrome even exist yet? Mozilla maybe?)... it was not a happy time
