Subject: RE: Browser Statistics for US Government
Its the last article in my accessibility series I am writing for CFDJ.
Its just one point in the article, but my premise for the series is that
implementing web standards (XHTML/CSS) with no layout tables makes writing
fully accessible compliant web sites a breeze. Of course if your client is
the US Government (who is required to follow 508) but they browse the
internet via Netscape 4, which isn't a web standards browser and is 8 years
old (introduced 12/96), then they are one of the biggest hurdles to
implement compliant sites. Kind of hard to write a site your client can't
see properly and expect them to a) be happy about it, and b) pay you.
So this last article shows a solution to that. I just needed to make sure
that my premise was correct. According to the anectodat evidence I got from
here and from other resources, about 50% of the agencies I got responses
from are using NS 4x, the rest is fairly evenly divided between IE 6 and IE
5.5.

Could you expand on that, Sandy? I'm really interested in your viewpoint.
Is it just that it is so large with such a large user base that upgrades
tend to lag a bit behind?
Of course, I could just wait and rtfa. :-)
