Re: Browser compliance

Yes, I used to force IE9, but I removed it altogether.

I think that one is able to force IE to run in backlevel ...

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">

Here are your options:

- "IE=edge"
- "IE=11"
- "IE=EmulateIE11"
- "IE=10"
- "IE=EmulateIE10"
- "IE=9"
- "IE=EmulateIE9
- "IE=8"
- "IE=EmulateIE8"
- "IE=7"
- "IE=EmulateIE7"
- "IE=5"

if I'm going to use something I'd rather know, at least at a high
level, how it works. If you don't know what can be done with the
tools you're using, you won't know all the best options you have.

It's like saying "I have a driver... he/she/nonbinary <tic> takes me
places" without realizing you can fly in an airplane as well, or ride
a motorcycle!!!! woohoo!

However, no framework will insulate you from every CSS and

that you'll eventually run into. A framework may be fine ... until
it's not.

There is no way in this day and age that I want to worry about
browser compatibility. that's the job of the framework. I want to
spend time maintaining and enhancing my applications - now worry
ing about how MS

or

Firfox or Apple or ... have screwed up my browser interface this week.

I had to look up the definition of "transpiler" in order to get

compatibility for both CSS and JavaScript. It's not easy at
first,

but

it

does get easier as you begin to build out your CSS and
JavaScript framework. After a while you get a feel for what

the major browsers.

Someone is probably thinking, just get one of many popular CSS
and JavaScript frameworks and solve your problem that way. I
think that

would

be shallow advice. I think it is better to learn the nuances of
CSS

and

JavaScript yourself.

Anyone have any thoughts or advice?
