Re: RE: Opera chief: Microsoft's IE 8 'undermines' web standards Look, the standards (at least the parts I am talking about) have existed for a long time (definitely pre IE6). Opera did not just make up these standards, the governing body did. MS has just choose to ignore the standards. As far as slowing the adoption of the standards supported in IE8, they are the same standards that have existed all along. Think of this like roads. The way roads are built and marked follow a certain standard. Double yellow lines have one meaning, dashed yellow another. But for some reason MS decided that they will use purple lines to mean what the standard calls for to mean double yellow. |

2 edits | Before you act like you made a valid point go find a version of Opera or any other browser that came out at the time of IE5 or IE6 that follows the standards. When you fail you will realize how pathetic Opera is acting.
Microsoft clearly is not ignoring anything if IE8 finally follows them. They will probably have the first mainstream browser release that follows the standards. |

Saint Louis, MO | Actually I do build web pages. IF you build them to the standard, they will display properly on almost all browsers. It is when you start doing or using non standard compliant tools that the issues pop up. |

| said by Lazlow:they will display properly on almost all browsers. Yea, almost. It's that last 1% of things that don't work out that require most of the work to fix so it displays correctly in all browsers. I am not talking about catastrophic problems. Just small annoyances.
But that is more than enough to make everything you said invalid. |
