How do you mean you would like to duplicate my results. I have no results showing that FireBird is faster, i agree on that.
oh
But neither do you have prove that IE is better or faster.
yes, I have proved in the past that ie is faster...however, as you say, it's been a while, and ie may not be the performer anymore...we'll see
in fact, by all the points i have mentioned, it would seem that IE is insecure,
mozilla would be just as insecure if it were as pervasive and as pleasant a target as ie...this will happen soon enough unless the courts tell ms they can go forward with internet explorere
ie doesnt keep to the standards,
well, when development was allowed by the courts, and was being supported by ms, ie in fact ecxceeded standards,
this is what the pro "alternative borwsers" didn't like...that they had to keep up to ie's ease of use
doesn't listen to normal headers that are perfectly right to use.
\everyone knows these now current flaws...write around them if you want ie users to enjoy your page
write with these headers if you want to amke your pro mozilla points.
Second, since XHTML/HTML and the web standards are always improving or becoming better, IE should be updated as well:
oh boy do I agree with you on this
Thats the point, FireBird supports the new stuff that IE is failing to support because of it lack of updates
no... ie is not updated becasue the courts told ms they are not allowed to update it
Just because one browser doesnt support a feature doesnt mean that people are gonna stop using the newer stuff, no they want to use the newer stuff since its either easier to use, or just plain cool to have the new stuff.
Well, that is what browser have to keep up to, they have to keep updated so that they support the la
test and greatest.
/agree...that's why ai fully expect an alterantive browser to out perform ie soon...maybe by now it's already happened
Claiming that IE then should not be tested on those parts is like saying i dont want to take those classess in highschool since they are to new, and i like old school.
/agree again...but I didn't say ie should not be tested on those sites, I said that both browsers must be tested practically, not devised..this means normal surfing, not devised surfing
the other points you make are along the lines that are correct, that ie is not still under development
as far as your speed tests, we'll see if I can duplicate your results
in the past, ie clearly outperformed
could you give me a link to the pheonix that yuou want me to try...
