if it worked on IE it went out the door
How many of those companies are still in business, relative to their competitors who chose instead to bet on cross-platform standards in the long term?
- AznHisoka 15y agoThey had to worry about IE initially.. then when they made it big, they had the money/time/resources to focus on branching out. Today, to make it big you have to worry about a lot more platforms.. and that's only to get started. Sux!
- djtriptych 15y agoIf you were developing back then, you know there was a conscious choice between using REALLY microsoft-specific stuff like .htc modules, and just not worrying if your layout was perfect in Netscape 3. It was easy to not care for a while there. If you're developing now, you know how much time you save just not worrying about layout in dying browsers.
