Nothing like a bit of commercial suicide to thin the web development ranks :o)

The truth is, since they are paying the bill, it's their problem. It seems that the only way to get truth through to them is to include in the invoice: "Corrections To Make IE Compatible." If they say that we should therefor forget about the other browsers, just tell them even if we did that, there would be no time savings because we would still need to compensate for IE's bugginess. Top it off by offering to throw in for free some bell and whistles which IE doesn't support. This should do two things: 1) Make people aware that 100% IE support will cost them money. (But don't compromise on one bit of functionality, just some polish.) 2) By creating a difference between IE and compliant browsers, people will begin to realize that there is a difference. Will this mean the end of IE dominance? I doubt it. It may however lead to the end of IE's super-dominance, which should be good enough. ***************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ***************************************************** ***************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help *****************************************************
