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?
Avoiding your question for just a second....
Would you intentionally build a car park that stopped Toyotas from entering?
Remember that it is one Web for all people and all browsers. Some people *have* to use IE.
I'm not defending IE. I know it is a pain to support in some cases and that the general consensus is that there are better browsers around. But I wouldn't want to make the Toyota drivers seem unwelcome, just because there are Ford cars available. This is very different from saying "Ford rocks!".
Now, to answer your question, "should I put non-ie on my site?", I'd say no. I'm in favour of you *not* doing the extra work to avoid bugs, and I'm in favour of you promoting the browsers you like (rather than dissing the ones you don't).
But that's just me.
