told me that IE wasnâ€™t that bad, you just had to create clean code

How can you write clean code for IE when it doesn’t follow standards? IE6 doesn’t follow CSS2 or W3C standards and while IE7 may do those things, it still doesn’t follow Javascript standards and won’t follow CSS3 standards either.

Verdict, IE still sucks and makes you run around in circles trying to get stuff working.

Ah, blockquotes! I like!

… if I put in 50 then I expect 50 …

You raise an interesting point that I was talking to Andrew about earlier â€“ if you want to match the whole set, it’s kinda infuriating to only get 26, right? At the time, Andrew said â€“ and I agree â€“ that it’s not worth it. After all, how often does someone want to match 50 terms? With that many, the other testing options make a lot more sense.

With that said, however, there needs to be some feedback. The user needs to know that his or her request for 50 matching questions was denied â€“ and why. Some sort of alert along the lines of, “Sorry, this feature doesn’t work with more than 26 terms” would be great, and easy to implement.

who cares you guys are such nerds

Agreed! Perhaps I was just trying to fill in blog space in between Quizlet updates. Heh.

Neil, have you ever tried doing matching with 50 questions? NOT FUN. It’s a waste of time anyway. My thoughts..

NeilKelty: The demographic Quizlet appeals to, once we get beyond the tech-savvy early adopters, won’t care very much for JavaScript debugging. Just a sad fact of life.

Nik: Nice find, but Andrew, I really wouldn’t reccomend doing that without some sort of notice as if I put in 50 then I expect 50 - what’s wrong with a choice like aa or bb? or even ab?

Andrew: I’m sorry, I was thinking (since it only applied to sets with more than 25 terms) that the ids repeat, since you run out of letters. I just went back to the testing page, and this isn’t the case - it looks like you merely cap the number of matching choices to 26. Smart.
