If you can spare a moment, go post some comments at
http://www.cklester.com/euphoria/bbcmf/
BETA TESTING ONLY. Don't expect your comments to last.
But they won't necessarily be deleted, either, if they
are nice and supportive. :)

I'd love to leave all kinds of supportive comments but when I click the link I
get a blank white screen....

I just looked at the site with IE and I get a "blank" page also. However,
when you look at the source, it's all there.
IOW, IE sucks.

IANAE, but try adding </script> after:
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/reflection.js" />
or perhaps replace that /> with ></script>, ???

Pete, I did a Google search with your idea and... that's exactly it!
Thank you!!
Although my original format is valid XHTML, IE sucks and can't handle it. :)
See this: http://www.phpied.com/ie-script-tag-problem/
Wow, Microsoft never ceases to amaze me with its incompetence.
Anyway, for now it's fixed. Other problems are showing up in IE (but not in
Firefox), so there's more work in that regard. :/
I don't really care about IE, so I'll probably revert back to the valid
XHTML format once BBCMF is released in full. Maybe by then IE will have
been fixed. :)

Okay, look, I agree with you. I have Firefox (and Thunderbird, of course) and
Firefox beats IE hands down when it comes to standards compliance and
presentation.
HOWEVER, this is still Kansas and the majority of people use IE for web
browsing. So I say (and please, put down your weapons) that you should support
IE. If someone wants to use your utility and it doesn't work on IE then you
probably won't get very far. Unfortunate truth. It's like the scene in the
Matrix where Morpheus tells Neo "..most of these people are not ready to be
unplugged"!

And I agree with you. IE support is necessary. grrrrrr :/

My impulse reaction is, "I don't care." Because, honestly, I don't. I
develop so that standards-compliant code is produced and works in browsers
where it works. Obviously, a company that wanted to include IE users
would HAVE to use a product that allowed IE use.
Me, I've created this system for my own use and manipulation because I
found other systems lacking. Plus, it's a test of sorts to see if
Euphoria+Apache can work as a reliable, robust combination for CGI.
At this point, I have no idea! I don't see why it shouldn't work well,
but I can't prove it will.
So, I'm not motivated to create this utility by its eventual widespread
distribution.
Having said all this, I'm still going to make it IE compatible! :P

Just detect IE and put a bright red bar at the top saying "Operating in
compatibility mode, you might need to <a href="http://www.mozilla.com">upgrade
your web browser</a>."
It works for spyware authors...
