Thing are getting much better, all the time, but simple things like progressively enhancing select box's just feel way harder then it should be. Select boxes are tricky in any browser by the way because they are natively rendered so differently in many different browsers.
Backbone, and others, are awesome but still don't seem like the whole solution.
Even then if you the site you are building gets a little more popular, you will have to support more platforms, like older versions of IE, and then were back at the start.
- tchvil 15y agoThe problems we got with older browser versions(especially IE) is mainly with CSS. Not JS or HTML. Rendering on the server would have caused the same issues.
- matwood 15y agoI think in recent versions this is true (the problems being mainly CSS). 4-5 years ago I remember doing JS DOM manipulation and at one point IE taking 100x longer to do something than Firefox. It was so bad that FF was instant and IE was unusable.
