Browser specific sites are unprofessional and show the ignorance and stupidity of a web designer.
I agree. Oh the person is talking about my site! Is it because I use CSS that three in four browsers can handle? Oh wait is it because I use CSS that Netscape 2.0 cannot handle? Or what?
Let me share what some of my design goals and reasons:
- I wanted a website that could not be done with a table layout.
- I wanted to push what could be done with layout.
- I wanted to see what “rules” I could break and get away with it.
- I wanted to create a website that I liked since it my personal website.
Would I go about designing other sites like this? No. I currently get paid as a web developer and I try my hardest to achieve the middle ground of pushing forward while still having the pages work in IE6. On this site for example, I do not block any browser and have wanted to add some way for a better viewing experience for IE6 but that’s one of many things.
What a fool, he acts like you’re not totally aware of that or something. Haha. I have to say your site is awesome, apart from the cross-browser related issues (what about disabling CSS for eg IE?). Your design is something different, somthing fresh, something new. At first I didn’t even think it was content here, just a playground for new css techniques.. Oh well. Nuff said.
I have thought about disabling the stylesheets for IE6 and lower. Luckily, IE7 actually does a good job for the most part at rendering the stylesheet but that is still a year before large numbers of people start to switch. On my old layout, IE would get a low pass basic stylesheet but that will be after I get the high pass look done.
I think this is discrimination, browser harassment.
:p
