Poor choice in design/tools. It is the limitation of the web developer and the people who commission the developer to do the work. How do you control the zillions of shops out there? Most of the web developers have forgotten or are not aware of Tim Berner Lee. Last week I went through the process of US visa application. The entire process was flawless from signing up to filling up online forms and submitting it for an interview [1]. BTW, all of the pages served, had .aspx extension. I was not forced to use any specific incarnate of IE and it did not complain about my desktop OS (Debian). The owner of the site envisioned multiple browser, various desktop OS and ensured that the web site development team did not put any constraint on their "customers" to do business. This concept is lost on many businesses who contract their application development w/o much thought as to who is their customer. [1] it was able to handle erroneous input without backend errors. -- Arun Khan Sent from my non-iphone/non-android device _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc ILUGC Mailing List Guidelines: http://ilugc.in/mailinglist-guidelines
