To quote Georg: "It leaves older IE/win versions with a perfectly usable document, and doesn't in any way shut out users with obsolete browsers - they simply get a clean sheet." from the link Alan provided. <http:// www.gunlaug.no/contents/wd_additions_50.html> I donknow if you read "Transcending CSS" or not, but this is basically the same thing Andy was saying in his book. Perfectly usable is the same as "punishing"? I disagree with that conclusion. There's nothing in Andy Clarkes approach to transcending the situation with CSS-design (as it were in 2006) that prohibits the developer to support older versions of IE with "usable" pages, if he/she decides this is worth the effort. Exactly how usable is up to the developer. In this book, Andy leaves it to the developer to decide which browser is the development browser. That could be IE6 or some other browser if the project demands that. I feel Andys total web development approach makes more sense than the alternatives I've seen. Though some designs in the book brake needlessly so in IE6. But there are other sources for accomodating IE6, if that's important. Also, this is three years later. IE6 usage is dropping and the real challenge today among other things is making usable web for all those other browsers. You know 9-inch screens and phones and the like. How ever anyone sane could choose to NOT separate structure and presentation in this day and age is totally beyond me. Not that this old school approach have been promoted in this particular thread, but I see seemingly bewildered developers defend this old school approach too often on this list - like table layout designs, minimum widths and so on. But this paragraph is really out of the subject, so. ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [cs...@lists.css-discuss.org] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
