JavaScript Laziness
June 22, 2004 · No Comments
One of the things that bugs me at work is the way JavaScript is written. Let me put it another way. Internet Explorer is the browser of choice throughout the company (approx 5,000 employees) and so the code written by the majority of the developers is written to cater only for IE.
For me, this is nothing other than sheer laziness. The main culprit is the usage of
in the JavaScript code. As most people know, the usage of this bit of code is IE-only. Where this really becomes a problem for me is in that I use Mozilla Firefox as my default browser, but when I need to browse our Intranet I have to fire up IE as the HTML/CSS/JavaScript behind it all is so non-standards compliant it makes me grind my teeth. Just a rant...
