I am always interested to know what those involved in designing websites feel about browser support. Is it really necessary to support those dysfunctional relics like IE 7 ... 8? For a while now, I have been adding an "outdate browser" warning to sites designed for business which appear like this on the web page... http://ezmacwebdesign.com/Demo/toast/chromeframe.html This is achieved by inserting the following into the HTML... <!--[if lt IE 7]> <p class="chromeframe">You are using an <strong>outdated</strong> browser. Please <a href="http://browsehappy.com/">upgrade your browser</a> or <a href="http://www.google.com/chromeframe/?redirect=true">activate Google Chrome Frame</a> to improve your experience.</p> <![endif]--> ... and, obviously, providing styles for the class "chrome frame". This targets IE 7 and any previous versions. On discovering that Google Apps dropped support for IE 8 at the end of last year I changed it to - <!--[if lt IE 8]> Fortunately, the majority of surfers are now using mobile devices and its obvious that our focus needs to be on compatible designs like the one linked to above. I wonder if its necessary to go on supporting the dwindling minority who don't feel the need to upgrade their browser(s)? ------------------------------- Roddy Website: http://everwebwidgets.com Contact: http://everwebwidgets.com/ewWidgets-home/contact.html NOTE: I am an EverWeb user and NOT affiliated with EverWeb!
