Hmm, this is a nice little thing: <http://diveintomark.org/archives/2003/05/03/the_importance_of_humanreadable_markup.html#comments>

Evidently , ie crashes, taking all programs using mshtml with it, on the markup <input type>. One would have thought that such bugs would have gotten rid of during the process of more than 8 years...

Well, this just goes to prove that the perfect and complete html support that the iCab browser has is more of a feat than it would seem to be. Isn't it strange that Netscape (Mozilla), KDE (& Apple), OmniGroup (though it's very close), Microsoft and Opera haven't reached that yet? (Yes, iCab is the ONLY browser with perfect html support.)

Is it maybe so that the more styling and scripting support a browser gets, the harder it is to proceed perfecting the basic markup support? Or is it just because they lose focus on markup because they're aiming at higher goals?

From a commercial point of view they seem to have everything under control, make something which is world-wide accepted with the least possible amount of men-power==costs

I know this sounds very bla bla bla....... , however the fact is that every production-company etc works like that.

Make something that works and fine-tune it only when necessary.

Sorry to maybe disapoint You,
