David Lawrence: Microsoft certainly violates it as well but everybody needs, everybody is competing with each other, right.

Dillon: Right.

David Lawrence: So everybody wants an edge, everybody wants you know, oh our browser has a popup blocker, oh our browser loads pages quicker, oh our browser uses the Gecko engine, oh our browser is you know now anti-spyware from Microsoft. Every browser has a different way of approaching things and again frankly does so to gain market advantage. So I don*t know that works well is the right phrase but certainly there are things that you can code in HTML and JavaScript and Java that only work on certain browsers because of proprietary functionality on those browsers. Internet Explorer is the biggest example. If you go to any JavaScript site or any Java site or any scripting site, chances are many of the scripts that you will find there, you will find little notes next to them that says only works in IE 5+ or only works in IE 6 or works best with Mozilla or whatever. And so because of that, because programmers tend to try and find all the niches in that, you will always have unfortunately I know that W3C which is the organization that really would like these standards to be standardized, would love everybody to have the same approach to rendering the pages but it just simply is not going to be the case. So, yes they are different and you will always find that there will be differences.

Dillon: Okay.

David Lawrence: That answered your question?

Dillon: Yes it did.

David Lawrence: I appreciate it Dillon. Matt you are Online Tonight with David Lawrence.

Matt: Yes sir thanks for talking my call.

David Lawrence: My pleasure, how can I help you?

Matt: I have replaced the CD player and every time I start up Windows XP, it fails to recognize it and I have to go to add hardware each time.

David Lawrence: Okay here*s what I would like you to do. I would like you to break that cycle, okay?

Matt: Okay.

David Lawrence: So what I would like you to do is shut down, pull the CD player out. Just pull it out of the machine. Restart your machine without the CD player in, work for a little while, go to a website or whatever and then shut it down again. Now this whole session was without the CD player, right?

Matt: Right.

David Lawrence: Okay now put the CD player back in, restart it and see if it holds.

Matt: Okay.
