Hi,
How many webmasters out there are sick and tired of fighting with bloody version 4 browsers. I know that there is still a small market for these people and that they are still potential clients. But when is enough, enough? I'm getting to the point of not caring anymore, and when trying to make a site that complies with the w3c I find it so agrovating when bloody NN-4.75 does it's usual annoyance tricks and plays games with me that makes me fight to get results. It shouldn't be this hard.
When can we switch? I say we start right now and convey the message to people that they need to wake up and smell reality, the world isn't waiting up for these people anymore. We are progressing into an ever-growing multimedia environment that requires better technology and we can't be held back by people who can't progress with the rest of us.
The chain is only as strong as it's weakest link and there are 2 ways of looking at this: 1 - the old browsers are holding us back and not letting us maximize our capabilities to achieve a higher level of work, but, 2 - these weak links are about to be broken and thrown away only to be replaced by the newer technologies.
The time is now I think. Break the link and stop conforming to such a low level of productivity and maximize your capabilities now. The movement has to start sometime and by someone or a group of people and I think the group found on Tek-Tips is a big enough one to start making a dent in the web world and get peoples understanding that there is now a progression of higher standards in place.
What do you think?
