AJAX Best Practices

I saw this banner while surfing the web:

Here, I’ll save you $1300:

Best Practices for AJAX content development, rule #1: When developing AJAX web apps, don’t waste your time trying to work around Safari’s many DOM/Javascript/Canvas bugs. Instead, force your mac users to upgrade to Firefox*.

*Corollary to rule #1: At least force them to upgrade to a nightly build of WebKit, but even then, you’re walking into a very buggy minefield.

I would have saved a few weeks of development time if I had followed rule #1 sooner.

Firefox: It sucks, but it sucks much less.
