Huh. I'm curious why. The splash page still loads, but none of his links (contact, about, jobs...) work. All 404

I'm afraid to say I expect it's actually his own doing. Considering his behavior it doesn't seem out of place for him.

This guy is such a troll - where's anonymous when we need them?

Any code-related thing that Martin and Michael put their hands to is guaranteed to be rock solid! Congrats on the launch guys!

MEEBO!!!

Come rock with us in MV and NY,

Web browsers are not so "only" :) pretty good platform to start with if you're going to pick one

Yes but not a great platform to get locked into. What if tomorrow your client asks for a native iPhone app?

Yup, it works in IE6.

I don't have access to IE5.5, would love to have someone test it.

Give IETester a whirl. IE 5.5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 preview render engines in a single executable.

I'm not convinced that IETester changes the underlying APIs correctly. Because of bad experience with "Multiple IE" simulators in the past I don't test on anything but the real install.

I hear you there. I just wish it were easier to have multiple versions of IE laying around without having to boot a VM for each. Heh.

ThinApp [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VMware_ThinApp] is pretty useful when needing to do "classic" browser testing.

I don't think many people would be willing to invest $6,000 USD (minimum!) to test old versions of IE.

Yeah, I had trouble with those "portable IE6" implementations too. But IETester seems to be a lot closer to the real thing, at least as far as I can tell.

Hi,

IETester hooking is not perfect yet, but the engine is the correct versioned engine used on each tab. You can find more information here :

IEs4Linux might work for you then. It can install the original IE6, IE5.5, and IE5 under Wine. IIRC it uses a separate wine tree for each version, so there's no chance of the IE6 js interpreter being run in IE5.

Is there a significant amount of people out there who still use IE5.5?

IE6 has userData behavior, which can be used to store data on the client just like with local storage

You need JavaScript, and though there are lots of libraries that make things simpler, you'll need a good understanding of JavaScript and preferably have a good understanding of the DOM as well.

Libraries will help you with the DOM, but not a ton. They won't help you with the js.

I suggest you start with a library, but make sure you understan what you're doing in terms of the DOM.

I had a chance to chat with them - I honestly think lunascript and its platform is the core product. The productivity app they're building is a first show case (and in-house infrastructure)
