Comments on: The lack of standards for standards http://blog.aaziz.org/the-lack-of-standards-for-standards ramblings and opinions of a geek Tue, 06 Jan 2009 06:14:37 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.5 By: Aziz http://blog.aaziz.org/the-lack-of-standards-for-standards#comment-27 Aziz Thu, 24 Jul 2008 16:01:14 +0000 http://blog.aaziz.org/?p=18#comment-27 This blog and the parent site (http://aaziz.org) haven't even been tested on IE by me at all. But advertising myself as a web developer I have to make sure my products are working for the majority audience, and at least still functional and decent for everything. I'm afraid to test this site on Opera, as I think the menu's are going to be in horrible positions. One of the worsts things is that Firefox adds an extra 2-pixel margin to the top border, so I've had to reduce that. But on my home computer, it doesn't do that, and there is no margin at all. The only difference is my own laptop runs Vista rather than XP Pro that everyone here is using. This blog and the parent site (http://aaziz.org) haven’t even been tested on IE by me at all.

My personal site sees almost 90% FF users, but my companies site sees over 50% IE6 and 7 users. It just depends on your audience. While FF is coming on strong, the majority of non techy people still use IE6&7, which is a shame. I wish you could just screw a certain browser but as long as your customers use it, you'll have to support it. Thats a good guess on the number of users to your site being mainly IE 6 and 7.
