Steampunk Road Dispatch

We have been creatively cursing at Internet Explorer 10 all day for the fits it has been giving us, particularly with this blog. Ever since we posted our inline survey, the opening page of The Steampunk Road Dispatch has been automatically jumping down to the first option of the survey in IE10. The browser may think it is being helpful, but it is not. To add insult to injury, there is a fine box around our window to the world at the top of the page if you set the zoom to anything larger than 100%. Other browsers do not have these problems.

So it was with great bias that we started looking at another problem having to do with file uploads. The page was working wonderfully under Google Chrome, but essentially doing nothing under IE10. Though it pains us greatly to admit it, IE10 got this one right while Chrome was letting us get away with murder, for the fault lies not in the browsers but in ourselves (and our code). We won’t bore you all with the technical details, but if you do want them then just ask and we will share with those interested individually.

We will apologize to IE10 just as soon as it stops auto-scrolling down to the survey.
