The Browser Wars
Do you mind if I rant for just a moment? kthx…
I am currently working on a website on a pretty tight schedule, but I have been been improving those mad coding skills of mine and am just about done. So I realize that I need to put the site through the paces and use http://browsershots.org/.
Basically BrowserShots renders your site in just about every browser/version possible and lets to see if there are any glaring issues.
So I run my tests and lo and behold… it displays correctly on over 50 different browser variants…except two…. Internet Explorer 5.5 and 6. Both very relevant since there are more than enough people still using them (well more 6 than anything)…
So tell me why is the entire design community still stuck designing websites that display correctly on outdated versions of Safari and yet one of the more used browsers in the world breaks every possible div…
meh. don’t let anyone fool you… there are reasons why many designers are driven to drink…
