Today, I start my job hurting again. And I came to the job listing page in Crown Casino.

Fortunately, they are hiring some IT positions and more importantly, the opening is for DEVELOPER! It seems like a prefect fit to what I am looking for.

So, I clicked the "apply" button and have my resume uploaded. Great! But while I am working down the application, how come some of the fields are not editable? Since I am using Google Chrome as my primary browser and it’s still in a very early stage of its life. I don’t blame the page for incompatibility.

Ok, now, I open up my Firefox, which has been there for many years as well. Navigate through, click "apply" button and have my resume uploaded. All field are now editable and when it gets to field I need to open up a javascript popup to select my birthday. Trouble comes. The page is not responding, and it’s quite likely because of poorly written javascript (aka, IE-only javascript).

Fine, then I bring up my IE 8 Beta, which I normally used for testing purpose only, and still, some rendering issues appears as well. But at least, it allows me to go through the application process. It may be bugs in IE 8 and could be fixed in the RC build possibly released next week.

But the key is, Firefox, Safari and Google Chrome has gained much more market shares than 5 years ago. And they becomes significant enough for any web developer to make sure your pages are compatible; especially, they are more close to the standard, as compared to IE 6 and 7. I am not sure whether I am going to succeed in this job application, and if offered, whether or not I will have chance to work on this page. But seriously, it needs to be fixed!
