[thelist] MouseOver for graphical submit buttons?

[Candace Maynard]

Yeah, I think we both jumped on that one at the same time.  :)

Playing Devil's Advocate for a moment.. if you're targeting a specific
audience, like the Linux community, coding for those browsers might be
useful.

But in general, I think at this point in time you're serving your goals
well if you stick to the top two or three browsers.

Exactly, Candace; That is what I just responded to as well.
Look, on my computere here at work, I only have installed IE and NN.
That is our targeted client base for manufacturing/engineering
professionals.

At home, I have many more browsers installed: IE, NN, Opera,
Neoplanet, Mosaic, and Amaya. There are indeed hundreds more,
but all are based on the Mosaic (or is it Mozilla?) browser.

For instance, there is a browser by the people who make the CoffeeCup
HTML
editor,
but who really uses it?

Those three browsers account for over 94% of all activity on the web.
If you're a House person, you say that it's population that matters.  If
you're a Senate person, you're all about equal representation.

I fall so heavily under the House category that I don't even think about
it anymore.  :)

What do these other 97+ browsers do, and what are the reasons supporting
coding for them?

one note...

IE, NN, and Opera are three of over 100 browsers on the market...

i'd just qualify your statement with the idea that most of the 
browsers *in use* can handle this...

but by no means do most of the browsers handle this... in fact, 
only about 3% of them do...
