re: #60 recusancy

Ummm… You don’t buy the concept of having your website function properly in every customer’s browser?

Yes, I think, that is what I am saying.

It goes beyond dealing with the legacy IE stuff….

“Every customer” is a loaded phrase. First, I’m not necessarily concerned with what technically makes a “customer” one such being or not… but more importantly, “every” is too broad of a goal, I think.

Look at what Charles has recommended for those viewing via an iPhone - use the LGF Spy instead of the normal blog window. This is simply a practical work around - there is no way that Charles could try and make LGF with its massive threads perfect for every portable device.

My own goal in web development is simply for my own creative expression. There is no need to try and please the 500 million or so web-active viewers in the world.

If I were forced to develop a website for, say, MasterCard then I would be inclined to try and make the site accessible to every damn person in the world. Fortunately, I’m not in that situation.
