[css-d] Design for IE6 or IE7?
Hi, Is there a consensus whether one should design, using css, for IE6 or IE7? I looked up some latest stats and more people are still using IE6. I just wanted people's thoughts on this.

Why not Both? It's not hard to pull off. There's plenty of tricks and fixes for both browsers to make both display properly. __ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7 information -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/

I just wanted people's thoughts on this. Now that we are not quite so constrained by IE6's limitations (in IE7), I am designing my personal web pages using more advanced CSS. This is rekindling my interest in more advanced CSS designs, as well as playing with alpha transparency in PNGs. I fear that IE6 will be with us for some time. So now I am playing with Dean Edwards's IE7 script. To date, I avoided this approach because of the uncertainty of IE6 users having scripting enabled. Now that IE6 is not used by 80%+ of my visitors, I think this approach more viable. It's doubtful you will find a consensus, any more than there is a consensus on which materials one should use to build a house (wood, bricks, adobe ...). But the opportunity to build web sites with advanced CSS is one I personally find hard to resist. As for using CSS *at all* for constructing web pages, well, sad as it is to reflect on now, it was IE5, especially the Mac version, that made CSS based web page design viable. Since 1999. (My opinion, of course.)

Afternoon Spellmank You wrote Hi, Is there a consensus whether one should design, using css, for IE6 or IE7? I looked up some latest stats and more people are still using IE6. I just wanted people's thoughts on this. Thanks, spellmank The long time consensus on the list has been to *design* and CSS / xHTML code for Standard Compliant Browsers ( Firefox, Opera, etc) and tweak / fix the IE browsers as needed. That's the model I've used for several years. I test IE 6 and 7 early and often as I build the site so as not to get to far ahead of those browsers. I find it makes sense to fix / tweak IE as soon as I see a problem rather than wait until I'm ready to release the site to the Public / Client, only to find out that the 800 pound guerilla isn't happy with my CSS or xHTML Wishing you all a great weekend.
