edge browser

[MoreCoffee]

No, I am doing only web coding now. I only have to worry about server side (PHP) and client side (CSS/javascript). PHP is consistent across servers (the only variance is the version running), but on the client side, browsers that don't follow standards are a problem. Since I am on no one's payroll, I am free to choose not to support such browsers. :thumbsup:

I'd use a IDE (such as Visual Studio 2015) to handle the browser targeting.

Is that an MS product?

Yes, free and somewhat open-source

My preference is to simply write my own code, likely much more efficient that that which would be generated by an automated process, and support only those browsers that comply with standards. If I have to include code to detect which browser is being used, and then load separate CSS for each, then pages are bloated and load time is increased for everyone for the sole sake of users who wish to stick with deficient browsers. Everyone suffers, whereas the way I do it, only those misguided souls who use the non-compliant browsers suffer, which to me, is as it should be. :thumbsup:

I do not doubt that hand written code (that is written by one who is well acquainted with JS, HTML, CSS and so forth)is likely be more compact and possibly more efficient when executed than code generated by an IDE yet IDE generated code is likely to be produced more quickly and with less effort than equivalent hand written code if the functions to be performed by it are not trivial.

i had fantasy where mark created his own browser, exclusive to CH. he is such an expert as our resident tech guy

 

[MarkFL]

LOL! I am just a budding vBulletin coder...creating a browser, particularly as 1 person working in spare time, would be a daunting task.

i respect and fully trust coders, if i was to ask for tech help, if needs be. iam kind of computer illiterate:smashfreakb:

There are many areas of computing in which I feel illiterate too. I've carved out my little niche, driven by my interest in vBulletin forum administration, and that's where I dwell...
