i read it earlier today. If you look closely you'll see that IE can't do a lot of things correctly or at all. Its a good sign that mozilla will become king. Of course you cold always embed mozilla into IE, hehe.

in the end it says:

Microsoft has planned a few new additions that don't offer new capabilities, but do simplify the process of creating and reusing DHTML scripts. Then it says these extensions are IE only. If they are IE only how does this simplify things???? Follow standards-that will simplify things!

It's great to see that some of the features that are standard, but only ie supported, now work correctly in mozilla, such as scrolling overflow elements: http://www.builder.com/Authoring/Browsers50/ss02a.html

Great to see all the "This screenshot from Gecko because IE didn't do this, didn't do that..." hey?

However, when it comes to dynamic properties, why can't we do this on Mozilla? Sure, behaviors are a M$ wank, but dynamic properties are a natural addition... ( okay, so they're not in the spec, I'm sorry ;) )

In fact, I was showing one of my friends the benefits of DHTML and some of the cool stuff you could do and he just said: "Why can't you put all those table cell efects and code into the style, then you'd only have to write it once. I mean - isn't writing it once and using it everywhere a good thing?"

Ah... from the mouths of babes.

Standards are all very well, but the only thing Joe Public will care about is 1. speed (taken care of) 2. better bookmarking (everyone LOVES the way I.E. asks you what you want to name a bookmark) and 3. the improved page printing option IE5 offers. Mozilla MUST emulate both these very important features.
