Why not use things that'll degrade gracefully in less-modern browsers? shadows are awesome, but whatever if they don't show up in other browsers. For example:

Now, when it comes to major functionality — if your application simply won't work in IE — you need to decide whether the tradeoff is worth it. You won't be tarred and feathered if you have a giant sign saying people need to use a different browser to use your application. You're simply going to lose users. And note, the vast majority of those users aren't going to download the browser and use your application, they're simply going to leave.
- ergo14 16y agoI'm perfectly fine with idea of losing 5 users out of 100 - because 95% of my target base will use modern browser(or less because someone that doesn't use a decent browser will very likely be unable to benefit from my site in first place - specifics of my target group I suppose). Anyways It's not like i'm going to block anyone - I just don't want to support hacky code just to make IE users happy. It's not like the website will be non-functional to IE users - it will probably just be ugly, thats all ;-) Which I guess is fine because its purpose is being a tool for webdevelopers and programmers. Also some features just don't degrade at all ;-) like canvas (unless i use something like excanvas), but this part is competly optional to use, so not a biggie. Think like https://developer.mozilla.org https://developer.mozilla.org - being made to work in IE ;-)
