>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).

True. OTOH most of that stuff is for IE6 -
SWAG is that more then 80% will disappear if IE6 is dropped.
