Graded Browser Support

Tuesday, February 14th, 2006 at 12:43 pm

Yahoo just released their idea of modern browser support entitled Graded Browser Support . I have been advocating this in my company for a while, although it sometimes is tricky as it is also dependent on the client and their visitors (I had this wonderful degrading CSS-layout with awesome DOM Scripting effects just to realise that the main user group is IE5 and – god forbid – Netscape Communicator).

I was also pretty chuffed to see them linking to my unobtrusive JavaScript course :-)
