Meirion:
Yes, Still the vast majority of the time showing the site (unless the TOS states otherwise…as I said before, some projects I’ve done support only M$IE7), but I generally do a browser detect & try to politely tell the user “Yo, Wake Up! Use a decent browser! Are you stuck in 2003/2005!?!” 😉
I got this general idea from http://panic.com/coda. They show their warning with conditional comments, but I chose to do it with a php browser detect.
Honestly guys, if more of us do this kind of thing, do you think it will help? Especially if we link to FF/Safari/Camino/Opera and not IE? ha!
My 80 year old grandfather is a user of Firefox b/c he hates the way sites render in IE. Granted, he learned to program C++ when he was 73…but still, I think you get my point. (besides the fact that my Grandfather kicks some rear! HA!). Sorry, I feel as though I’m on a mission from God! 😉
Kindest Regards,
