Thanks for the info!

Added to the List of Links in the QuickRef section.

Note: I'm having a problem loading the site in Firefox, though. Java error of some kind is gagging the browser. IE is ok, though.

Sharepoint/Java

[sherpa]

fwiw, I use firefox (0.9 not the latest release) and it loads fine but all the trailers come up as broken java applets and the text 'loading java applet' sticks in the status bar.

i don't think it's a beta issue in firefox, i think it's sharepoint being clever and adapting to a platform that doesn't support MS's multimedia controls (do people even use IE any more? how can you risk your computer security so freely?).

that said, i like sharepoint, i remember when it was being developed

I'm a professional web developer, and I can tell you those stats are accurate... depending on what market you're reaching of course. (a public, generic website will have about 95% IE of some version, then netscape, then other browsers). A very techie oriented website will have slightly altered stats... ie will still have the majority, but say for instance, since my ilovebees section went up on my site, the stats started to tilt towards Firefox as the main browser (till behind IE)

Ie, risk the security of your computer? sounds like we have an anti-MS zealot here . In the past, yes, MS had pretty rough software, but now I'd say IE is the most versatile, standards compliant (not to say without proprietary features, but the most compliant as well) and advanced browser right now. And yes, there are a number of features other browsers have that MS should have thought of for IE, but I dunno if they'll ever be added...

But let's not let this get to a MS pro/con debate... this is way OT...
anyway

Heh, I was partly joking (in the style of all the recent anti-IE "security bulletins" there have been), but I recently spent an entire weekend fixing someone's computer that had been riddled with spyware, adware and viruses (and all she did was visit websites with IE, though she had been going to some slightly dubious ones to download stuff). That's enough to put you off IE forever.. but I'm not personally anti-MS, I used to work for them and quite like them really.

I read a recent post on Slashdot (iirc) which mentioned that Firefox is getting much more browser share - some statistics have it at well over 10% and growing - but it obviously depends which stats you use. as a web developer I make sure all my sites work in IE and that almost always means they work in firefox too.

Anyway, yeah, well OT, just wanted to add some reasoning behind my comment!
