I am beginning to wonder if it is not better, however, to design a sheet to the standard, and then allow users of MSIE to choose a simpler sheet if some effect doesn't work well in their browser. Comments?
i'm all in favor of user choice, as long as it doesn't get confusing. just remember that most users will use whatever you've got set as the default. i would just rather see user choice for the sake of the users than users having the choice of fixing their browser's poor implementation of standards.
I fully agree. Leaving the users a "choice", in this case, means that the developer doesn't dare make a choice himself. Good user interface design often simply means choosing sensible defaults, and not bothering the user with the notion of different stylesheets for different, non standard complying, browsers. In an ideal world, at least ... :)
I've heard that MS finally decided to revive the IE development group, and that the main developer has shown some willingness to listen to suggestions, provided that they're not as generic as "better compliance to web standards": I wonder why he chose this particular example!
