Downlevel browsers

Under what circumstances would someone be forced to use a pre-Gecko or pre IE4 browser? cheers, Chris Maunder

The only other option being that some vital body parts are chopped off?

maybe i will reply to something else than you asked i hate space technology and bandwith wasting at web pages i see no reason for it, personaly i do not like web 2.0 mail clients, the most i hate is opening of pages via js i like my browser is web _client_, if i want program to work with web data _i_ will install it (at least add page to trusted sites)

It just occurred to me as I was working on some old code covered with the layer upon layer of scars and wounds of old workarounds that, logically, there is be a point in time where support for old technology can be abandoned. Yet in web design this is sligtly tricky becuase as one set of downlevel browsers go the way of the dodo, other devices with limited browser capabilities (such as PDAs and phones) are rising up to fill the gap. As well, accessibility considerations, low bandwidth, and disabled javascript means there always has to be consideration taken for the downlevel browser. But now I'm thinking "just how 'downlevel' is the minimum standard of 'downlevel' these days?" cheers, Chris Maunder

If you kill off the old dead code, you'll be my hero. :)

Just use the fancy code, Maunder - your users aren't shy, if it breaks you'll find out fast enough... :rolleyes:

I do a good bit of consulting with home and small business clients, and what I've found is even if the computer is older and the client doesn't really understand how to even install a newer browser, many times the browser is already upgraded to at least version 5 of IE. Most software packages out on the market, like accounting software and antivirus packages, etc, upgrade the IE as part of their installation requirements. Even if a person wanted to stay with an old browser, they'd need to make sure when they installed pre-packaged software that the IE isn't upgraded. :) Lost in the vast sea of .NET
