Neerav,
In the end the numbers win, I guess. (Although this list, I think, would support the proposition that getting web standards right is important even if the majority browser doesn't. In this case, however, we're discussing browsers on a minority platform that are not getting standards right.)
- IE for Mac isnt being developed anymore so its a dead duck
It's going nowhere, sure, and at some time can be discounted. However, for users still on OS 8 and 9 it's the browser most likely to be used (and closest to compliance) and many people on OS X up to 10.2 use it because they have no idea there's an alternative.
However, because the submenus don't appear on rollover, IE 5 Mac users won't know that they are missing anything, as long as they can use the main links successfully.
- while son of suckerfish doesnt work in Safari 1 it does work in Safari 1.2, its not like it doesnt work in Safari at all
This is ironical. When Apple released Safari, the promise was that it would usher in a new era when browser innovation would not stagnate. However, because no Apple users running OS X 10.2 or lower can run the latest version of Safari, they're stuck with a version that will never render the Suckerfish submenus properly.
