I don't think that's unreasonable if you're reasonably sure your audience is close to entirely IE.
When I make websites I have no time for ideals or philosophical statements, I look for where my market is now and where it's going in the short term, and make my decisions based on that.
- pohl 16y agoI've seen many applications that were created under that assumption ("they're 'intranet' apps, and IE is our corporate browser") only to become extranet applications quite suddenly - undermining that assumption by merely replacing "in" with "ex" in the functional spec. It's not just a philosophical statement. It's a practical matter. Unless your plan is to high-tail it out of there and leave it to someone else to maintain your mess, that is.
- mechanical_fish 16y agoThe difference between philosophical statements and practical matters is surprisingly difficult to articulate. You can rarely point to a single moment when the one becomes the other. Every practical situation starts out life as a philosophical position. The atomic bomb was once a napkin doodle.
