Ok, so what a friggin pain! Scott and I (mainly Scott) have been wrestling with non-IE 7 issues for several days now over at vesticator.com.
Once we fixed IE 6 issues, we discovered FireFox, Chrome, Opera and Safari issues. We fixed all those issues (except FF) and then found more IE6 issues. Then we fixed the other IE 6 issues again only to have to fix all the non-IE issues again. Sheez! Most of this was all related to Ajax and the AutoCompleteExtender.
As a startup we cannot afford to have these issues. This problem was forcing users to use work arounds to create stock alerts for stock indicators. In fact, for IE6, users could not create stock alerts period.
In the end, my conclusion is this: people complain about how IE is so lame....but it seemed that IE 7+ was the easiest to work with from a CSS and Ajax perspective. The js and css was so much more intuitive and easy to work with in IE7+ compared to the other browsers. And this has nothing to do with having more experience in one vs. the others. I don't know js or ajax enough to have had an opinion before these experiences.
Anyway, all browsers should allow for Stock Alerts on the Stock Indicators we offer. What a relief!
