From my perspective, the whole point of coding to standards means that it doesn't matter what browser the user is viewing your site in - they should be able to read your content regardless.

I feel that you have misread/misinterpreted my meanings.   What I am saying is that there are many sites that hide stylesheets from NS4x because the style breaks in the browser. I was using NS4 as an example and the main topic here is about - To hide OR not to hide stylesheets - as Sarah stated that she would prefer to see a broken style rather than no style at all (i.e. just contents). Never once did I mention anything about shutting down the whole Mac computer platform.       With Regards Jaime Wong ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SODesires Design Team http://www.sodesires.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~   -------Original Message-------   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 03/25/04 05:48:09 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [WSG] Hiding styles message to certain browsers   > There are many sites out there (be it professional or personal sites) > hiding > stylesheets from older browsers for e.g. the most common is Netscape > 4x.   Jamie   There's a big difference between expecting someone to update their antiquated bowser, and shutting out the whole Mac computer platform.
