Re: JTF: Javascript Unit Testing Farm



<Oh, somebody stop me! You want others to spend money to buy a PC and
software so they can use your products when you are too lousy to invest

a small amount of time and effort to make your products standards
compliant?

I guess you don't see the hypocrisy. >


There is no hypocrisy. I only have so much time to invest. Contrary
to what you say it takes a great deal of time to maintain "standards
compliant "pages, time that is a waste of time in my opinion. Who is
the standard bearer when 95 percent of the users comply with Microsoft?
W3C is out on the limb, I would say.

FrontPage and PowerPoint work very well for me. I have produced about
330 illustrations in 2 months for my code change course. On my best
day I did 23 illustrated pages. PowerPoint has an excellent graphics
package that allows me to maintain production at about triple the
output per time using a combination of software packages such as ultra
edit, adobe illustrator, paint shop pro and Netscape Composer. I have
done it both ways for about 10 years and believe me FrontPage and
PowerPoint are the way to go. FrontPage is excellent. The JavaScript
debugger works fine and you can switch back and forth between script,
design, preview, and a split screen with a click of a button.
FrontPage has the same drawing objects as PowerPoint and is very
similar.
I have been there and back building about 10,000 web pages over the
last ten years and in my humble opinion these software packages are
unequaled for production verses time. And that is the key element -
output verses time.

I don't really worry about the other browsers other than IE5+ because
like I said before, I sell a product and if a person can't afford
Windows XP and IE5.0+ then they probably are not going to buy the
products anyway. It takes a major amount of time to maintain
compatibility to the so called W3C standards, time which I do not have.
If Bill Gates thought like you, he would still be working out of a
garage. It is all about marketing.
