[jQuery] Re: .ajax and ie7?

I understand where you're coming from, but I need to support a broader
user-base for my software.

I have two virtual machines on my main PC with XP and Vista installed, and a
separate Macbook Pro, so that I can cross-check compatibility between IE6
XP, IE7 XP, IE7 Vista, FF2, FF3, Opera, Safari Win, Safari Mac, FF Mac and
Chrome.

The javascript is occasionally an issue, but complex CSS-based layouts can
be a pain.

At this point my production flow is grooved in enough that I rarely have
issues.

Thanks for that link. I was just going to ask if there even is a half way
decent debugger for IE. Windows is so unwieldy when it comes to debugging
(but that may just be me, as using Windows is a pain for me and I only do
when there's absolutely no way around it...)

Personally I write my stuff for Firefox (or better "standards compliant" -
where firefox has it's issues every now and then, but far less than IE).
Once
all that works I start to degrade it to IE7. On all websites where I can
make
the decision (non-client websites), I don't even support IE6. Hey, if you
use
that old piece of crap you don't deserve visiting my website.
The only thing I do for those guys is give them the download links to IE7,
FF,Safari or Chrome.
