Browser compatibility - Page 3

I don't get big into this much. I test them out on fire fox. Most likely if they work on fire fox they will on IE. If some one uses another browser, I wouldn't change my site just to fit theres. My rule of thumb is "if it works on fire fox it is good enough".

I just had to tell you guys that I'm progressively hating Internet Explorer more and more with each passing day.

Love or hat, it'e IE, it still dominates the browser marketplace.

I'll just prepare myself for the stones that are bound to be thrown my way:

I *like* IE7 - it's trimmed down, I'm not overloaded with toolbars, it seems to be getting it's act into gear - and I barely use FF any more apart from checking that my sites display correctly in it as well - I design for IE.

That being said, designing for one browser or the other is all well and good if your market all use the same browser, but in a business-class web project, you can not afford to lose customers simply because they use a browser your site doesn't support - it just doesn't make business sense.

Hence, my views on this topic are as follows: for a hobbyist site with a limited user base where you are reasonably certain of their browser - code for their browser, not yours; for a personal site also with a limited or niche market, code for your browser; in an enterprise application - you have to code for all of them.

BTW: Contention - was it the 3px bug that did it?

Thats what really irks me about IE
