Re: Mozilla makes huge stride towards competing with IE

You have to design to what you are told to design to. As a developer
for a business, you have to do that. On one person's personal site he
decided to stop trying to make his site look good in IE, now he just
programs for Mozilla.

I have a personal rule. If I can't use a company's site becuse they
don't support my browser, they don't need my money. There are sites I
have to use for work that require IE, then I will use IE to access
those sites only. As Aaron has mentioned before, there is a neat
plugin called ViewInIE (or something like that), I used that if I have
to switch. It all comes down to personal preference. All I will do is
keep saying you should switch to Mozilla and say why, it is up to the
people I talk to make the switch.

Here is a couple sites to keep you thinking:
