You mean to say that you post to CP from Opera :omg: I've tried Opera earlier, but it sucks for msdn and CP so just gave up, mozilla is better but still not upto my comfort levels. - Kannan

lately i have read a lot of posts and constructive opinions about where the browser war is heading (though ended a few years back), as a result of the recent MS decisions to stop further IE development as a stand-alone app on Windows, and IE on mac as a whole (which of course might not taken seriously, as i expect them to change anytime soon without notice). In the meantime, it's about how the community could help boost the current IE state-of-the-art, and btw promote alternative browsers, i am getting myself a bit caught in a band wagon. That's the band wagon of explicit IE wreckage, that is any technical way to prevent a web page from getting properly rendered when served to Internet Explorer, while being served it gets perfectly rendered using an alternative like Mozilla (Firebird). Here is how to do it : just add a non-closed tag like <xml> somewhere inside the html code. Let's take an example. Go to this sample web page[^]. Save the page locally. Bring up your favorite text editor and just add <xml> somewhere in the code. Reload in your favorite browser : Mozilla, Mozilla Firebird? ==> fine. IE ==> blank page. :rolleyes: Congrats. :-O If i can compile a few more tricks, then i'll post an entire article sometimes in the future. Anyone involved, just don't hesitate to contribute.
Dude. You're going to get a lot of flack posting stuff like this here. There are many people around here who feel that attitudes like yours are heretical. You are more likely to get lynched than support. I support you, though. :) Post an article. J

Maybe the method of protest will be frowned upon but the spirit of the protest will no doubt get support. Microsoft made a big deal about robust and trustworthy computing a while ago, and while the security aspects are being addressed the robustness seems to have taken a back seat. cheers, Chris Maunder

It's nice to see someone with a brain.
