Well... My excperience is that out of 100% client side development, 75% goes into getting all the kinds of IEs to work as expected.patrikG wrote:Unless you're doing very advanced client-side scripting: what runs on Mozilla runs on IE.
True. My argument was more with you saying "I have to work under windows because of IE". I would disagree with that - a small, but subtle difference: I don't have to develop client-side stuff under Windows because of IE, but because it's the most widely used desktop-OS. That doesn't necessarily mean Windows IE only, but Operah etc. as well, with Mozilla/Firebird being the notable, and laudable exception.Heavy wrote: I'll tell you where it gets hardest:
* window resizing
* event fetching - which by the way is less messy in IE.
* downloding files sent from php. Welcome to hell. Different headers for different IEs. SSL screws it up. Even more different sets of headers.
* styles
The reason I said this is that if you don't have either multiple OS's installed or multiple development computers running different OS's or VMWare installed, you need to run Windows to test IE. Yes, the coding can of course be carried out on ANY system. My argument is convenience. To test things in IE I don't want to have to switch system just for that.patrikG wrote:Three of your four reasons are DOM-related, i.e. client-side issues, so I don't see the necessity to code PHP under Windows
Ummm... I have Windows Update do such things for me. I run Windows 2000, a not too old system I guess... Strange thing to have an operating system update because of a buggy text editor.patrikG wrote:if I remember correctly they say in the FAQ that you'll have to download some .dll from Microsoft, which will sort that.
Dito - HTMLKiT is BossI've used HTMLKit for a number of years now, and have found it particularly useful if you deal with a number of different languages (ie. ASP, PHP, Java etc)

There are also various add-ins available, supporting a huge amount of languages
