How do Zope folks negotiate the tension between supporting 4.x browsers and developing standards compliant websites?
I'd be interested to hear any techniques, strategies, policies you've found helpful--also, if you have a perspective from which my question seems to embrace a false dichotomy, please share that too!
I try to use only the simplest features, so that they will be supported to some degree on most browsers, and I do a lot of testing on at least the three main browsers - IE, Mozilla, Netscape 4.7x. You also want to remember that you cannot control the screen resolution, and a lot of people still use 800X600. So it does not pay to get to precise in screen design, I think, and you should spend the time getting something acceptable on a wide range of systems. If you use this approach, accessibility issues will be much easier to deal with. Cheers, Tom P
