[dba-Tech] For web developers

What a mess. I just tend to drag my feet when it comes to this stuff because
it's so senseless.

I just tried his example code for favicons. It worked, mostly: 
IE10 in desktop mode didn't seem to use any of them
In Tile mode (yech) it did save the tile correctly when I pinned it.
FireFix used the 32x32
Chrome used the 32x32
IE8 used the 16x16
Opera - lol - depends
Safari - who cares - but really, what happened to Apple's download for it? I
uninstalled it a while ago and I can't find where to download it anymore.
Have they given up on Safari for Windows?

Hi All:

I have often complained about the lack of standards or more accurately
complained about the lack of anyone following the Standards. Microsoft has
definitely been the main offender but they are not alone. If you are a web
developer you have probably experienced all these issues written in the
article linked to this post:

It is just a small single event and similar issues carry on right through
entire web development. You may ask yourself why would I ever get into
serious web development and if a web developer, you may ask, why am I still
here(?) but someone's got to do it and if you are little masochistic all the
better. ;-)

Jim
