People still use netscape? :) I think it depends on what your app is geared for.
Like, if you develop a web portal with tech news, chances are you'll get a few NS hits, since there a still a few hardcore NS fans out there that are still using NS from when it was the best thing since sliced bread. But, if it's a web portal for gardening, or something of that nature, chances are you'll get the non-tech savvy crowd, and most of them would be on AOL (which uses IE), or a local ISP, running the default browser (IE) When I make a site though, I do open it in NS6 to see if it's viewable. The majority of the people who do run NS (the fans) would certainly of upgraded to the latest version, which is pretty W3C compliant. ______________________ steve oliver atnet solutions, inc. http://www.atnetsolutions.com -----Original Message----- From: Rey Bango [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, February 19, 2002 10:43 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: SOT: Is the Netscape browser still a consideration? For the longest time, I've coded my sites to take into account Netscape users but with the ever-dwindling numbers of Navigator afficianados and IE's continued growth, I've been wondering if I should even bother worrying about whether my sites work with Netscape. Since this has been one of my best resources for info and some of the most talented and savvy people that I've met post to CF-Talk, I was hoping that I could get some good feedback. So, if we consider that the apps that I'm developing will be geared towards the Internet consumer at large and I won't have the luxury of developing for a controlled environment like a corporate intranet, I beg the question: Should I continue to worry about Netscape? If so, which version should serve as a baseline? Looking forward to your responses.
