Cross browser. I bet that 1/2 of it is to deal with the 4 versions of that sack of suck known as IE.
Yah, it's broken... probably by design. The "polls" don't work, either.

But then so are Google and Javascript.

Interesting article

Same story as always though. You can build the best tools on the planet, but when you optimize the platform, the code monkeys will just write sloppier code -- because they can. At least the rest of the web runs really fast! happy

When embedding a button, what ever happened to:

AJAX

That would reload your page on click.

With AJAX, you can send HTTP data without a refresh. The downside is, you have to have client-side event handlers to update the displayed content based on the server's response to your button press. And error handling code in case it didn't work for whatever reason. That's a lot of code that would have been hidden on the server side.
