Comment on Event Binding with jQuery delegate() by Phil

Honestly? It probably would. I can’t remember if there was a reason I structured it that way. If I can find time, I’ll code the two up and measure their performance.

Just wondering, why use ‘each()’ in your ‘live()’ example? Wouldn’t $(‘table td’).live() work the same?

Comment on JQuery UI, CSS and IE by Phil

I feel your pain. Really, I do. But it is not the place of designers or developers to rise up and arrive at the door of anyone using Internet Explorer with pitchforks and torches. The fact of the matter is that IE is still used by well over 60% of the global market and abandoning support for that sort of market share is simply impractical.

You may find that your users are split more proportionately with their browser share, but you should still consider IE into your equation – either by providing gentle guidance on how to upgrade / move to a different vendor, or at least explaining why things might look funny when viewed in IE6.

As IE6 continues to age and fall behind current web standards, more companies are recognising the need to send it back to the world of shadow and flame from whence it came. This coupled with Microsoft’s realisation that IE needs to be generally better than it has in the past means that our lot as developers / designers is destined to improve – and soon.

By the way, Google has dropped support for older versions of IE for some products (e.g. YouTube).

When will we as designers take a stand against Internet Explorer? It is such a pain. I have not met one fellow designer/programmer who has not lost money due to that horrific excuse for a program. What would it take for us to unite and put a stop towards development for internet explorer? This is a serious question by the way. It is a matter of getting a better browser to this “majority” of web users? What is it? What would it take? Would it take a company like Google finally saying they don’t support it anymore?

as a developer these days we get requirement in the morning and we have to give the demo in the evening..in this rapid pace developer cannot sit to find a workaround for inconsistency created by frameworks, none has that much BW..we believe coming rel of jquery should give us some standard solun for this out of the box..
