LOL. Beauty certainly is in the eye of the beholder. Of course, the
goal in page design is to make it "pretty" to as many as possible.
Actually, the real goal is (or at least should be) to make it _useful_
to as many as possible.
Yes, some of the prettiness (graphical design) helps usability.
Unfortunately, some other parts of the prettiness (especially the
eye-of-the-beholder part) can really screw up usability.
Well, "pretty" or "useful" is agruable in the context of this thread.
"Useful?"
Are we splitting hairs here?
Look. The discussion is simply this.
How do I go about showing the most people the stuff I want to show them
in the way I want to show it while ensuring that most viewers see what I
want them to see, or damned near close to what I want them to see?
Standards. Design to the standards.
Testing. Install every possible version of every browser that you can
for your OS. The test in it.
I have bookmarklets that are great shortcuts (one button click) that let
me lauch a page in every of 5 major browsers with a couple clicks
Anyway. Just keep learning. And doing.
