I got this.
[Edit]
Argh. If CP supported embedding images in messages, this is where I would've pasted a screenshot of my VM host, showing I have instances of each and every one of these OSes at the ready.
(but yeah, I did get the joke you were making)

Be careful when you make jokes about women, they have been known to ovary act.

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Posts like that are the reason we can't have nice things (like women) on CP .

The poor, misunderstood innerText — Perfection Kills[^]
I knew there were differences, but not that many differences. This amount of spelunking for one single API just illustrates how messed up things are, and the extent to which web developers protect us, the reader, from the vagaries of web browsers.

It makes me so glad that I don't do webby things these days!
The completely unnecessary profusion of browsers combined with the general grubbiness of HTML/CSS and the 24 carat filth that is Javascript - it's not a world that I'd ever want to go back to.
Slogans aren't solutions.

10 years ago, the bar was also set much, much lower. Optimized for internet explorer at 800*600.

I patently disagree. I'd say that as the web has gained acceptance as a first-class commercial platform the standards have slipped, not the other way around.
You also were forced to do a TON of stuff in JS (with browser checks, of course) that are now part of HTML5/CSS. Weak devs made weak pages, and it showed. Now anyone can throw bootstrap at a site and make it look professional.

That was an eye opening article. I didn't know most of those differences either.

This is why I ran away from web development years ago and never looked back. Mind you that was back in the Web 1.0 era, but it really sucked back then because the development tools were all half-baked, no APIs wanted to talk to each other without rolling your own "translators", and of course the Browser Wars.
My sympathy goes out to web developers.

Having to implement an HTML editor from scratch for our intranet made me spend a lot of time on innerText before rejecting it and doing all my own parsing from the DIV's innerHTML. More work initially but oh so compatible now (I have to support IE9+ [IE7+ when I started the project], Chrome, Firefox and Safari).
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Dare I ask why?
There are great, mature editors already out there.
