And since we had trouble with the accessibility of the site earlier, we wanted to make sure that problems of accessing the full functionalities are not an issue in that process.Ulrich Schmidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04599151189851613469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17859011.post-57150854559605374612009-11-13T07:49:10.410+00:002009-11-13T07:49:10.410+00:00I am wondering what exactly it is that makes a pro...I am wondering what exactly it is that makes a problem with IE. Perhaps/probably it is very easy to fix. From what I see, the files look quite simple HTML wise, so it should, in principle be no problem to make them platform independent.Wieland Willkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02376942788228063430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17859011.post-40350007771686253332009-11-13T01:12:04.826+00:002009-11-13T01:12:04.826+00:00So... given Ulrich's comments, the options see...So... given Ulrich's comments, the options seem to be: 1) the INTF spend much needed money NOT on text critical work but on recoding to support IE OR 2) users of IE spend no money at all and download firefox or another compatible browser. <br /><br />Given that, option 1 seems like the clear winner. Why should IE users expect other people to spend money to solve their problem when they themselves could solve it on their own for free?Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10915737233077999632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17859011.post-84316232913602446882009-11-12T13:01:07.959+00:002009-11-12T13:01:07.959+00:00Not sure why it is a "conspiracy" to not...Not sure why it is a "conspiracy" to not bend over backwards to accommodate a terrible web browser. <br />those who work with web pages and web design for the most part despise IE.
