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.

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.

Yeah, you sure are on to something. What normal person would voluntarily work with any kind of programming?

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.

We do weird things with various objects that need special handling. We tried the various existing editors but they didn't work quite the way we wanted. Some of our users are very fussy, but they pay our salaries so that's the way we do things!

Yesterday, out of the blue, and for no particular reason, I started thinking about my old high school principle. Now it has been 39 years since I finished high school, and to suddenly start thinking of this man, remarkable as he was, is a bit odd. Anyway, I decided to do a search for him, and see what he had been up to since. I came across this article, written only that morning:
RAY COLLINS: Dr Stephen Aitken | Maitland-Newcastle Catholic News[^]
My principle was (at that time) Br Stephen Aitken. Strange how I only started thinking about him on the same day as this eulogy was published.
Anyway, as I mentioned, he was a truly remarkable man. In a school of over 1700 students, he could approach any one of us, or our parents, and talk about our interests, how we were currently performing, and if we were having any issues. 10 years after I had finished, he had been given a block of land and told to turn it into a school, which he had done, I decided to pay him a visit. He saw me coming from across the yard, rushed to greet me, and started talking as if it had been only yesterday.
RIP Brother - I owe you much of who I am today.
Cheers,
Mick
