Ten years ago you were an elite web developer if your site worked well in browsers other than IE. Today you're an elite web developer if you can make your site work well even in IE.
- craigvn 15y agoGetting the vast majority of sites working in IE9 is trivial (no changes required). IE8 some changes, but not a major hassle. I don't support IE7 or before. If you use a lot of HTML5 features it is hit or miss on all browsers.
- doctororange 15y agoYou're right. My recent encounters with IE9 have been pleasantly surprising (and I bet IE10 will be quite competitive), but for us the numbers are so low that, at least for now, a broad sweep feels OK.
- drivebyacct2 15y agoGuess I'll never be an elite web developer with that definition. I'm too busy actually using web features instead of depressingly fighting IE bugs.
- brlewis 15y agoThat's a valid choice, assuming your userbase is similar to the one in this article.
