Shelley: you know CSS has blink too, right?! And wouldn’t it be nice not to have to worry about a microsoft browser. (I did notice the other day that the library at work/school has the Firefox icon on the desktops of all their computers!

But nothing, nothing, was as harmful as giving people BLINK.

We’ve had IE 6.x for five or six years now, and that’s left many of the problems we’re faced. I wish Microsoft would just drop support for a browser, so we don’t have to deal with them.

(Sadly, I missed the opportunity to title the rant “Font Tag Considered Harmful”….) Hasn’t a damned thing changed since then. I’ve done my share of personal evangelizing. I’ve tried to show people how using standard code and CSS makes their jobs easier. They say “cool!” then go back to creating nested tables. Sometimes I get so tired of the fight….
