2 years or so ago, CSS wouldn't have been much of an issue - yes, you could use it, but you had little hope of getting browsers to render a single style sheet in the same way... thankfully, things are getting easier and most of the browsers available today (with the obivious exception of NS 4) have enough support for CSS to be a viable option for styling your pages.
I'm just curious to know what the general attitude is to CSS. The Web Standards Project suggest you should encourage your visitors to upgrade to a more standards complient browser, do you agree with this? Or are you one of those people that spend hours trying to work around the problems of NS 4?
Personally, I've give up coding for NS 4 - I don't offer them a style sheet but I do make sure that there is some logic to the way the page is set out. Having said that, I'm not happy with a single style sheet for those that support it either - there are still too many quirks between browsers for the attributes I use to get away with using a single style sheet. To get around the problem I sniff out the best style sheet to serve at the server level and use that...
So, care to share your approach to implement more managable and usable style on your site? |
