>It sounds like you have run into some glitches with audio and animation, which I believe you have been working with lately. IMO that is no reason to paint with such a broad brush and trash IE as a whole. And again, I am not a IE user so have no particular reason to defend it.

BTW, does anyone read the code in jQuery and associated add-ons? I read that a lot (while debugging) and guess what, 90% of the browser specific workarounds are IE specific. And I had to write some for myself - things that work perfectly in FF, Chrome and even Konqueror, just fall flat in IE (dunno if IE8 or 9 was the last I tested, before I handed it to the next programmer). Even a simple case where I was retrieving .innerText of a button in javascript, every browser returned the caption, only IE returned .outerHtml - which I can't find anymore, because I had to rewrite the whole section and make it independent of the caption (well, if you rely on displayed text, you're kludging anyway).

I haven't found a single comment where they'd say "IE does this right, others are trouble".
