Standards-Compliant Browsers Are Awesome

by Jiang Yio on Aug.24, 2009, under Android, Computing

Recently, I rewrote from scratch a two-year-old project of mine. Imagine, a browser-based image editor, had been sitting around collecting dust, so I figured I’d delete all the legacy code (almost all of it) and create something better. I’ve also been evaluating the possibility of integrating Imagine into Google Wave.

For giggles, I decided to try viewing this page on my G1. I knew that the Android browser was pretty powerful, but I had no idea that it would handle such a complex application so well without modification…

So far, everything seems to be working fine with the exception of drag and drop events (I attribute this to the differences between the mouse and touch mechanisms). This is why standards are important, and why I continue to write compliant code.
