Browser Share April 2010

A picture says 1000 words… and from what we can see here, this one is saying that just under 60% of Internet users don’t care about using a browser which is faster, safer or more inline with web standards (e.g. CSS 3). No surprises really; for us it just means that we’ll be keeping IE6 [...]

Market Share of Mac and Windows 2010

As a web developer I’m always keen to keep abreast of where the PC market is at in terms of platforms and browsers. Back in 2003 it seemed that you could trust that most people were using Windows XP and IE6 but these days the market seems a lot more segmented which makes it more [...]

Firefox is on the rise… but Microsoft Internet Explorer still blows everyone else out of the water. The question just by how much?

Test IE6 IE7 and IE8 all on the same computer

I read about this on Ajaxian this morning and thought I’d give it a test run. It’s a program that will allow you test out your websites in all the various different versions of Internet Explorer. It’s still a very early beta which means some things are missing (eg Flash support), but at this stage, [...]

Pure Virtual Function Calls and IE6

This C++ Runtime Error in Internet Explorer 6 had me puzzled for hours. But I finally figured out how to fix… I just never figured out what it was about the code I was using that made it occur in the first place.
