in reply to Re: Re: Detect Mac Browser
in thread Detect Mac Browser

Why??? Because the customer of the person I am writing the code for wants it that way.
That's never a valid reason. That's a bit like saying "I was just following orders", and you know where that goes.

I cannot ethically help you in your quest without a better explanation. And I would recommend you consider that you cannot ethically complete your task without more justification from your "boss".

Write standard HTML, and you don't have to worry what platform I'm on. Please. Please don't send me to "UPGRADE YOUR BROWSER" hell just because I'm on an operating system of my choice.

    Sorry if I offended.

    I don't have a boss per se. I am a gardener by trade, not a programmer.

    For whatever business reasons they have, they wish to send Mac Users one place, other people another. Nobody here wants to upgrade/change peoples browsers. I am confused as to the ethical implications here?
