alt Hacker NewsKind of like JQuery. I know why it was such an incredible library and am happy no new devs I work with (a) know what it is (b) understand why it was necessary.
Thank god the underlying language, libraries, and browser support have moved forward. And IE6 is dead. God, what a nightmare.
I remember when IE6 was the shiny new solution that we desperately wanted :).
IE 5.5 was much, much worse, and there was a long time there when it didn’t get any updates at all.
