My post was a bit tongue in cheek and was made after seeing the way that NN6
rendered one of our prime sites that works perfectly in all versions of
NN4 - unfortunately I forgot that irony is lost on many of our cousins in
the new world.
I resent snide comments about the standard of our coding, the site in
question is www.buildingadvice.co.uk  - you can make your own minds up.
As for coding to 'standards' - we only follow standards to the extent they
work for our sites and we are not afraid to push the barriers if necessary.
If everyone slavishly stuck to standards we would all still be looking at
green screens and coding in COBOL.
On market share maybe the picture is skewed here in the UK, but we never
find more that 10% none IE browsers visiting our sites and that includes ALL
versions of Netscape and Opera.
Do I care about not reaching 100% of the market? Not a jot if I can give a
far more interesting web experience to the 90% I am targeting and as a
result, get a better response from them.
