I really think you'll are dismissing IE and Lynx too quickly. We can't just support Mozilla, now or in the future.
There is this myth, and you just confirmed it again, supported by 100% of the people who hear that supporting MSIE is not a wise decision, that for some reason, that is interpreted as "won't" support MSIE. I get see this in web development circles all the time, when I explain that I develop against the standards, and in Mozilla, and I test in 13 browsers, including MSIE. I _always_ get people who come back with "Why don't you support MSIE?". Apparently logic and clear thought aren't among their better traits. For some reason, the notion that I develop in Mozilla, using standards, somehow means I am not making code that would work in MSIE. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Just because I support Mozilla, does not mean I do NOT support MSIE. That being said, if my code works in 13 browsers, and fails in MSIE, my code is not the problem. I do, however, refuse to add "hacks" to get MSIE to do what it should be doing anyway... following the standards. If the code works in MSIE, and breaks in Mozilla, MSIE is the problem. If the code works in Mozilla, and breaks in MSIE, MSIE is the problem. Which brings me to a great quote I found which is related to this exact issue of Microsoft intentionally ignoring the published standards: "Microsoft properly asserts that OpenOffice is not 100% compatible with their product. Microsoft, however, has apparently decided not to support the OpenOffice formats either, for which they have no excuse: the standards for OpenOffice documents are publicly available, whereas Microsoft makes it a habit to sue people for reverse engineering their own formats." Anyway, I don't want to turn this into a browser religious war. David A. Desrosiers desrod@gnu-designs.com http://gnu-designs.com
