This is mine: 1. Write the page in standard, validating HTML or XHTML without any style information. Structure it well so that it makes sense on even the most basic of text browsers. 2. Style the page with CSS. Put simple style information that most browsers (even NN4) can handle in one CSS file, using the <link> tag to link it to the document. Use <style ... > @import "complicated.css";</style> to import the complicated CSS that only recent browsers can handle. 3. Add scripts for whatever you want to look cool, making sure that those without scripts turned on will still be able to view all the content right from the beginning, and making sure that the script manually excludes any browsers which wont be able to handle it, via testing for the existence of functions such as document.getElementById. That way, you can make a page readable in practically any browser/user agent at all, yet still make it cool. Loading...
