OT: Virus protect pro

[Azselendor]

the guy running the IE7 team is making IE into a better browser for the betterment of the net, not microsoft. and i that I applaud (including his efforts to reach out to firefox for cross-compatibility).

However, IE has a long road to go. And firefox still loads faster for me

Opera is okay, but I dislike the fact every so often I see pages without the CSS loaded upfront.

Web designers like myself have to design pages with piles of hacks and crap to get them look the same in all browsers. This is because of IE6, however if more web designers would embrace the CSS-Zen Garden method of design, then we can get great pages on modern browsers and still serve content (even to old browsers) without breaking the page or the browser.

Perhaps people would get better results if they just tried for "legible" rather than "look the same".

I think you misunderstood me. I was referring to cross-platform & cross-browser compatibility. Legible content is, on to itself, another major issue in web design as many web designers don't know how to write copy for the net.

(the trick is to front-load documents for skimming, then build out into detailed content)
