Bugs should be fixed by who produces the browser and not by the website administrator by looking at the user agent and using workarounds.
When someone asks me to build I site for them I say, look I will guarantee that the site that I make is compliant with the W3C specification. If there is something that it doesn't work because some browser don't implement the standard correctly, you go to Microsoft to complain, or you install a decent browser like Firefox.
- baggy_trough 6y agoI admire your idealism, but here on planet Earth engineers are paid to make things work.
- kortilla 6y agoLol, I don’t know who your clientele are but producing websites that don’t work on popular browsers “because the browser is not following spec” is a non-starter. A bank wants a banking website its customers can use, not a website 60% of its customers can use and a link to a 7 year old bug report.
- sdinsn 6y agoDisagree. You can't just tell your customers "my product doesn't work because of Microsoft, go complain to them; even though it's possible for me to work around it, I'm choosing not to".

- AnonC 6y ago> Bugs should be fixed by who produces the browser and not by the website administrator by looking at the user agent and using workarounds. IE 6 had such a history where it held back other browsers and developers were held hostage to it for several years. Now we have Chrome to fill that gap and some Google platforms won’t work well or work the same on Firefox.
