Let's be accurate with Microsoft. IE 8 has some backwards compatibility shims that are evil. IE 6 is the required browser at the Fortune 20 company that employs me. There is no single aspect of the WWW that has poured more time and money down the drain than IE 6. I joke about bringing a class action suit over it but just barely.

jQuery was very popular before Microsoft started to ship it and their "endorsement" changed little if anything. It was the result of jQuery's utility, license, and footprint.

That said, and I truly dislike Microsoft for many reasons, IE 9 is shaping up to be the best browser there is and by quite a bit.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
