Help me with my new website!

[FlatAssembler]

I like C# a lot. It's java-ish but gives access to full Windows .NET libraries-- string manipulation, etc.

So, does C# support regular expressions? Does it have an equivalent of the Array.prototype.splice method? My web-app relies on those things heavily.

Anyone who can't support that doesn't deserve to be accessing a website.

Well, there are times when you are forced to use an inferior browser. Obviously, when you install a new operating system, you need to use some browser to download a proper browser. Also, if you are forced to use a computer with 512MB of RAM and 1GHz Celeron processor running Windows 7 to do something on-line, Internet Explorer is the only browser that works reasonably well. Also, on my 6-years-old mobile phone, I usually use the Android Stock Browser 4.1. If some webpage can't be used in it, I copy the URL to Chrome. But Chrome freezes so often that it's usually more painful to use than Android Stock Browser. Firefox doesn't freeze that often, but it drains the battery from full to zero in less than an hour of surfing. Android Stock Browser, with all its flaws, appears to be the best mobile browser around. That's why it's important for websites and web-apps to fail gracefully, right?

except IE6 and IE9, which are too old

IE9 is too old? Almost all JavaScript frameworks still support it.
Anyway, I've tried it, the layout doesn't actually break in IE8, it just breaks in IE11 running in the compatibility mode with IE8.

 I hope you're not still using that code that inserts inline style code!

Is there any other way for a layout not to break when you resize the window in IE6?

Btw you can always custom code your own string-manipulation routines.

It's a little harder to do in a language that doesn't support prototype inheritance (like JavaScript does), isn't it?

If you're so set on using JavaScript, why not simply learn node.js?

Well, because everyone says Node.JS sucks.
Does Node.JS have an equivalent of the "innerText" directive (that converts HTML to plain text)? My syntax-highlighting algorithm relies on it.

Using modern technology doesn't mean much if your design sensibilities are stuck 15-20 years in the past.

Beauty is, beyond a certain degree, in the eye of the beholder.
