Here’s the rant:
Stop this madness Microsoft! This is the exact same kind of terrible, short-sighted, browser-specific garglemesh that plagued the web with “favicon.ico”—a Microsoft only image format that forced a specific file name and location (and generates billions of 404s across the web every day).
Microsoft, if you want a way to declare a context-menu in HTML in a browser-agnostic way that is both forward and backwards compatible use HTML5’s
<menu>
element! Even IE6 supports it without any hacks because it was part of HTML4 and thus, not an anonymous element.
I #LOL’d a bit. He’s talking specifically about the new pinning option and customizing it.
There was one point where I really wanted to work for Microsoft – that feeling has long since left me.
Speak your mind...
