I think it is a very dangerous decision to make! IE is still by far the most common browser and you might be right that clients could get a bit nervous when they see you are anti-IE. It took me such a long time to ditch NN 4, but now that I have done it it just feels great! Dropping IE will take a long, long time, even if it is a crap browser to program for.
The other problem is: what if a potential client comes to your site and overlooks the comment on Non-IE compliance? He/She will just think that you don't know your stuff and will go somewhere else. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Behalf Of Mark Harwood > Sent: Monday, 18 October 2004 9:10 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [WSG] should you refuse to support IE? > > > Not commercialy, but personaly on your own blog sites are other > little community > sites? > > I've just redesigned my blog (www.phunky.co.uk) and in doing so i > decided i was > not going > to touch some of the minor issuse that IE has with my site, > although it would > only take > me a little bit of time to get it 100% in IE aswell why should i? > > Ive placed a small disclaimer on my site stateing why im "NON-IE" > but my only > worry is that > new clients or outsourcing companies may see this and think "The > guy hates IE, he > could be a > git to work with" (which i am :D) > > I just wanna know your view on ditching IE on purpose? > > Cheers > Mark Harwood > -------------------------------------------------------- > Phunky.co.uk / Xhtmlandcss.co.uk / Zinkmedia.co.uk > > > ****************************************************** > The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ > > See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm > for some hints on posting to the list & getting help > ****************************************************** > > > > ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
