Progressive Enhancement
Published Thursday 16th of December 2010
I recently recieved a rather amusing e-mail from one of my visitors. Apparently this person, who calls himself "Jamie", doesn't know what progressive enhancement is all about.
Here's what he wrote:
You should take some classes.
A good web developer would never have an ugly page which displays "Your browser doesn't support the modern CSS used on this web page, therefore it is served with the universal IE6 stylesheet. For a richer browsing experience, please consider upgrading to a better, modern browser."
I can't believe people like you still exist post "web 2.0"! So much for user experience. I happen to use and love firefox but was searching for/testing in IE.
You're in ability/laziness to design for all browsers shows that you obviously don't take your site very seriously and thus, I can't take you seriously.
You and your site look disgraceful.
So this post is for Jamie and everyone else who still believes that all pages need to look the same in all browsers.
