Web 2.0 — opening up a whole new world of Internet Explorer quirks!
Just when I needed it least, Internet Explorer has thrown me another curveball.
I’m hard at work trying to seem like less of a 20th Century web dinosaur by acquiring new skills with these techniques that are loosely lumped together into what some call “Web 2.0.” Key among these is an approach called AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML). Fun stuff. I’ve been working for the past several days on an interactive registration form for a site at work, using AJAX. Of course, as usual, I’m plugging away in Safari and Firefox, but eventually I decided to check out how things are looking in Internet Explorer.
[When I figure out an emoticon that represents my head exploding, I'll insert it here.]
