in thread Something I wanted to share with the group.

>they can tell the developer to create the page for x.x browser

That so goes against the whole idea of the web in the first place. HTML should never cater itself to a particular browser. To a particular ([psuedo|meta]\-)?language perhaps, but never to a browser.

    I agree, and I try to make my code work across all platforms, but when you have huge multinational companies coming in as clients and they say we want this to work best with AOL 4.0 because that's what most of our customers use, eh, ok, you got it.

    In reality, they sign my paycheck. I always fight to make cross browser code the standard, but being pointy-haired managers, they really don't seem to care.
