| Nov 29, 2010 at 2:45 | comment | added | Šime Vidas | @Alohci Most of the standards that are in use today reached recommendation status between 2000 and 2003. Microsoft released IE7 in 2006 and IE 8 in 2009, both of which implement the standards poorly. When I say that Microsoft didn't care about standards, I mean this last decade. In 2001, when IE6 came out, IE was holding over 90% of the market, which means that standards-compliance wasn't important back then. Saying that IE6 was once the most standard-compliant browser has no value. There were no relevant alternative browsers back then - IE was "the standard". | |
| Nov 29, 2010 at 1:31 | comment | added | Alohci | @Šime Vidas - I think that is rather unfair. If you look at the acknowledgement sections of the HTML and CSS W3C specs you will find Microsoft names in almost all of them. We should not forget that IE6 was once the most advanced, standards compliant browser available. It was just that for commercial reasons, MS stopped progress at IE6, and when they finally realised they needed they needed to start again, floundered badly. | |

| Nov 29, 2010 at 0:11 | comment | added | deceze♦ | Even if you emphasize your questions, the answer is: because different browsers are different. For the last question I think davidsulc gave a good answer. | |
