Hi Tatham, While I agree that more people should use better browsers (I have used Firefox for a long time now), I think forcibly redirecting users away from your content is at best sanctimonious and at worst odious. It is of course your choice but it's important to remember that other people have the freedom of choice too.
If you design to Firefox to the point of having a layout totally broken in anything else, I say let people see it broken and draw their own conclusions about whether they should upgrade or not. Just my two penn'orth. :) Iain ------------------ Iain Gardiner http://www.firelightning.com -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tatham Oddie Sent: 26 December 2004 23:10 To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [WSG] CSS alignment issues Gunlaug, Not sure what you mean by: "then your name will end up on the wrong list." Besides that, I'm a reasonably active Firefox evangelist, not just a standards evangelist. I'm tossing up on allowing other standards compliant browsers and it will probably end up heading that way with your suggestion. Obviously I won't redirect audio browsers (have a blind mate who uses the site and helps me test accessability). Would you be happy if I do this: Opera: 'Get Firefox' button in page footers Lynx: 'Get Firefox' button in page footers Mozilla: 'Get Firefox' button in page footers Firefox: Nothing Safari: 'Get Firefox' button in page footers Other: Forced redirect via GetFirefox.aspx Tatham www.e-oddie.com ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
