  • Why does Microsoft refuse to listen to it’s consumers?

    0

    Okay, I’m probably not the best person to talk on behalf  of Microsoft’s consumers as I don’t actually touch anything Microsoft apart from Internet Explorer to test sites in. The reason I’m not is because of this same question that remains unanswered. Why won’t they listen to consumers? In particular web developers: Why does Outlook not support all CSS and why doesn’t IE follow W3C standards?

    The search for a PHP class to zip files has taken me well over 2 years.

  • It’s all about me…

    1

    Time to take a brief step back from the usual chatter – and tell the world about me! For those who don’t know, my name is Jason Stockton and I am a web developer from Melbourne, Australia. The reason I started this blog was because all too many times I’ve come across issues when developing sites that I could just not find solutions for. Often I’d waste hours trying to find the solution when usually it’s really simple. Thus I started this blog to hopefully save people a little bit of hair pulling and then eventually premature balding. I believe for the most part the blog has been successful for helping a number of people with various issues.

    I’ve also just released a website about me and my web development so check it out!
