I am guessing an article on this subject has been posted prior to this one, I should hope a few have! However I hope this will provide a refreshing angle on the subject and branch to some other interesting bits of stuff.
I am sure that anyone who has taken even only a few steps into web development has come across the gigantic force that is Microsoft's Internet Explorer. Even for the most experienced coders, the most popular browser of this age has always been a prominent foot across the path of our websites technological progression and the possibilities of which the internet is yet to yield. Maybe not crushing ideas, but certainly making it a lot harder to bring these ideas from paper to browser.
However, although IE, wielding its scathing weapon the Microsoft corp. and therefore for-fronting the battle as the windows default has dominated the market; we have weapons which allow us the fight back! I think I'll cut the metaphors here and get back to business... Well, how can we fight back? And more importantly, what can be done to keep our designs looking slick in the interim... Yeah before the proper browsers take over!
I'll start with the fighting back. Personally my favourite method would be to utilize a conditional comment and tell people what they should be doing! Something like this...
Realistically I wouldn't try this method though, probably not the most tactful way when it gets down to it. You could however place a banner showing your support of these less buggy browsers such as firefox. This websites great for this promoting firefox business, very nice banners right here: http://www.spreadfirefox.com/?q=affiliates/homepage
Conditionals are pretty clever little buggers though, for general use they can become quite useful. And you're not just limited to |
