Top 10 Bugs

This page is still in the early stages of development!

Here are some of the little things I'd like to see fixed in browsers...

Internet Explorer

  1. Should accept the application/xhtml+xml MIME type.
  2. Should support the <object> tag without requiring any proprietry extensions or adding scrollbars to images.
  3. "Quirks Mode" ought to die a slow and painful death.
  4. Fix problems with the XML prolog and standards mode.
  5. Alpha blending for PNG images (without weird hacks).
  6. position:fixed should work. Is that really too much to ask?
  7. If you can support <acronym>, why not <abbr>?
  8. Get the display:table stuff working.
  9. Stop automatically requesting /favicon.ico and instead only request it when it's explicitly linked to from the page.

Netscape, Mozilla and Other Gecko-Based

  1. Get your CSS2 counters working!
  2. display:inline-block and inline-table might be nice.
  3. Stop automatically requesting /favicon.ico and instead only request it when it's explicitly linked to from the page.

Opera 7.x

  1. Complete CSS2.1 support — you're so close already!
  2. Stop automatically requesting /favicon.ico and instead only request it when it's explicitly linked to from the page.
