But... :) Counter arguments : - server side detection is possible using an iterative approach, reallyreally, I have several php examples at hands. - CSS3 may be the future in Opera in Firefox or it may be nothing - See XHTML becoming gently obsolete, and Microsoft's rejection of HTML 5 in favor of Silverlight. - Fallback is a NO-GO for that page , the maximum I set for myself is some css2 - for marketing reasons : people MUST see the same page when they arrive as the physical card they have in their hands. For several reasons.. See "NLP" about it : it enforces a feeling of consistency, enforces the impression I can turn their "paper dreams" into a virtual reality, and it subtly enforces their decision to be interested in my stuff (ok, I was with the business card, now I am watching the site, and this stuff feels good). These are marketing driven reasons, making them more solid than a concern about "showing my CSS3 media queries" - no offense meant, but while the interior of the final site will be a mind boggling OpenGL/Ajax/newsfeed user pick, I will abide to the rule : NO PARTICULAR TECHNOLOGY OTHER THAN PLAIN HTML AND SOME LIGHT CSS FOR THAT PAGE. Now take my word : while many dynamic, mid to small size company, and the end users are great with (better) Open Source technology, companies with 10'000 to 570'000 employees (DHL has that) use MS for Desktop, have used it for years, invested millions in keeping their it personel trained on that - until the masses make alternative technologies MUCH MORE ATTRACTIVE than these past investments, the main browser in companies like Philip Morris or Nestle will remain IE. This is not to break your dream : by all means, please use better/alternative technologies, but for me, the goals are sales/marketing - knowing, in addition, that the group policies for web usage in such companies restrict "anything new". Thanks. But no, thanks. Loading...
