What is wrong with the creators of IE and Netscape?!?

Ok, here we have two tags, Iframe and Ilayer. Iframe works in IE but not NN, Ilayer works in NN but not IE. These tags do the same fokking thing, so why doesnt it work on both places!?!?

 

[Celstar]

they're proprietary tags. stick to what the W3 standardized.

 

[Czar]

So, if I want to have a certain area of the page use another page, what w3 tag would that be?


Sucks also that Dreamweaver understands ilayer but not iframe

IFRAME is the W3C standard. BTW, Netscape 6 supports IFRAME.

Ahh, good, iframe is much better actually. Just tooo bad dreamweaver4 doesnt support iframe. Stupid macromedia.

Almost everything properiarity is, by nature, evil, hence, dont ever use properiarity tags

 

[goofy2000]

well.. I wouldn't blame macromedia.. It seems that dreamweaver is very strict on the tags that are not compatible on all browsers. If you have to blame someone, blame netscape..

 

[Czar]

But somehow Dreamweawer fully supports Ilayer, and even in the refrence they say that ilayer works only in NN and iframe works only in IE.

From what I read this week, you can use <OBJECT> tabs to embed things in a web page as if it were an <IFRAME>. I can' point you to a good example, tho.

Hey it's not Netscape that sucks (although they suck too) it's Internet Explorer that sucks.. stupid Bill and stupid Jscript and all that crap... damn all that.. and yeah.. you get lot's of tags that work on one and not the other.. sh___y buzz...

Cosmic,



IE isn't too bad (I'm using 5.01). I really like Opera and would use it exclusively except for rendering problems and some usability quirks.
