So, when you argue with your client over this specification for hours, and they decide to give the job to someone who will make it consistent, then what?
From a business point of view, especially in the marketing world, you'll have a hard time compelling the every day firm to ditch IE support. And as I said in the previous thread about this same exact thing, the elites can do it and still get plenty of business, but is everyone in the position to be able to turn down a job because of this?
The answer is probably no.
EDIT:
I guess the real issue is more along the lines of an education issue, and people who don't grasp it, getting put in charge of whatever new micro-marketing site you're releasing this quarter.
- nostrademons 17y agoDon't argue. Present your case as "You can have IE6 support or you can have features X, Y, and Z. Make the call." Sometimes they'll say they want IE6, and sometimes they'll want the features. But it should be framed as a tradeoff: you can't have both, and supporting obsolete browsers means you can't deliver functionality that may get you more users in the long run.
