I'm just curious, is there a particular reason that you suggest another browser to people using IE? Other than your personal opinion? I don't really think that's adding anything, and if anything it will have people using IE bouncing without giving it a try. I only took a quick look with IE and everything seemed to work fine, so I don't really get it. That being said I think this is a nice, simple idea that's pretty valuable. I like it.

I was just trying to be cute which has clearly backfired ;) The site does look a little nicer in Webkit/Mozilla browsers but should work across everything. I'll take it off since it appears to be quite distracting to IE users.

    Agh - I assume the only people that disable Javascript anymore are developers that know what theyre doing. im trying to rationalize not fixing this - can i get some help? maybe i should put that as a Question on the site ;)

      Your site should never look like this with JavaScript turned off: and I LOVE JavaScript. What on earth are you doing that the raw html/css looks like this?

        jquery easyslider plugin w css image sprites -- all the slider images are in a single image, and the text overlay is all in a long UL. I have to toss a CSS class on to hide the overflow.

Agreed. If you're serious about a business, this kind of ideology doesn't have a place. And it's not just the suggestion, it's the wording, it's condescending. IMO, given the choice, you should opt for graceful degradation. But past that, for any browser that will simply not work on your site, keep that bar and rework the language. What you're doing here... it seems the same to me as saying _"McCain? Really? Maybe you should vote for a good candidate like _Barack Obama_... And don't worry, he's not a terrorist."_ Save it for your personal blog. It doesn't belong on a business website.

  point taken - ive removed it. also, this isnt a "business" site -- this is a side project that i was hoping other techy people would find useful. i do appreciate the feedback!
