Clean designs are cross platform and cross browser compatible. Complex UI designs can now be addressed by Flash, which is very cross platform consistent. As users of a non-MS tool, many of us on non-MS platforms, we need to keep focused on the principle of keeping the market open to innovation

I agree with both sides of this argument. I would, being a Macintosh user and a Libran... But is it the developer's job to decide what platforms a solution is built for? That should be dictated by the client, based on cost and audience And I think it's at that point that developers should

Most Netscape problems I have seen are the result of bad coding, such as leaving out table tags. Shouldn't we code correctly? I first test in Netscape. If it works there it almost always works in IE. The vast majority of sites don't have any functions that can't work in both browsers, it just

Title: RE: Witango-Talk: IE browser share now 93% in 2002 (Off topic news) This is only an opinion, since we're on the topic again: It's not so much about having different browsers. They should all interpret the same code or mark up in a predictable manor. It doesn't need to be exactly

I would say that to use those statistic to prove that you need only code for IE is dangerous, as there is a much higher showing, right across the board, of existing NS browsers and Other browser users, on the web sites that I control. And nothing stays the same for too long in tech anyway.
