Hah! good luck telling all this to the NIC (national informatics center) webmasters who are running this off ASP.
I'm getting this completely unusable page http://eci.nic.in/results/ http://eci.nic.in/results/
Almost all the indian govt websites, both at the central level and the state level are beholden to 90's web design, programming and microsoft technologies.
It's almost a testament to the general incompetence of microsoft web developers who still think that programming against IE is good enough.

- FraaJad 17y agoBehold http://irctc.co.in/ http://irctc.co.in/ - the ticket booking website of the largest train network in the world -- Indian railways. A mishmash of images for text, deeply nested tables, mandatory login even to query available trains... The earlier avatar was even more horrible, and that's the only good thing I have to say about IRCTC website. Even with all this, I'm thankful to have online booking for the trains. The other alternative was to spend 2 hours in reservation counter or pay 40-50 bucks to the local travel agent to do the booking for you.
