Oh wait, we better make it work in IE6!
How much we were held back by backward compatibility before useful standards for things came ... But nowadays I just ignore non-standard styling. Just use the standard, because support is sufficient and browsers not supporting the standard sufficiently to make the website unusable are rare. By using the standard one also gives their developers a set target to get implemented.
- emayljames 3y agoiOS Safari has so many odd bugs in layout and CSS that trips up its touch based scrolling, it is so much like the IE days where other browsers worked and the site looked good, then you load in IE (Safari now) and something is broken.
- Sharlin 3y agoI once (~10 years ago, wow the time flies) found and reported a bug in iOS Safari where when you enabled touch scrolling on an element inside <body>, it would scroll vertically when you swiped horizontally and vice versa. But only when the page also contained an invisible <iframe> that we happened to need because reasons (GWT stuff). Apple fixed it eventually, but I'd love to know exactly what the root cause of the bug was…
