Internet Explorer’s defects
Internet explorer has many faults, especially the versions 6 and below. As web developers we want to give our users the best possible experience, so we come up with ways to hide these faults. By doing this we are teaching internet users that Internet Explorer is a fine web browser, and that websites built with web standards that look odd are not properly built. This is turning things on their head, me thinks.
How can we turn a web culture that says: “this website looks odd, what a lazy developer,” into “this website looks odd, I really should get a better browser”? How to raise awareness about what a browser is, what browser people use and why they use it?
