I’m glad that I’m not the only one disappointed with this article. Maybe I’ve read too many other articles, but this one didn’t seem to be well written.

I came from FORTRAN background and later on tried Microsoft products and other open source. I keep questioning whether .NET is different from Java or that IE7.0 will have tabbed pages like Netscape 8.0 or Firebox. I try to keep an open mind recommending no one in special. I try to explain things to myself mostly and do write a tutorial if I find some one may be interested. I agree that we should move towards a totally open source environment, but probably this is a lost cause. I agree with all of you, strange as it may sound. It takes different things to make this world a happy place.

I would rather use/learn a method that wasn’t browser-specific, myself. After all, there’s only one of me ;-) Down with MSIE and their proprietary B.S. If we stop using it, maybe they’ll get the hint…

P.S. Great website – just getting my head around AJAX and all it can do… wish I had more of an opportunity to use it at work, though…

It’s silly to dismiss this article, it’s full of useful info about the approach and because translating it into cross-browser approach is trivial…

hey look it took me 2 seconds on Google to find one:

So you don’t need to chuck a tanty whenever you see the word ActiveX

Claus/Ted – I don’t know who you build web sites for but if you neglect your “Internet Explorer only development skills” then I feel sorry for your clients.

ActiveX? You can’t seriously be recommending that people spend time developing their “Internet Explorer only”-development skills…
