| 1358487 | 2013-11-01 23:36:00 | Why would that matter?If you're developing a website oriented towards older people who might not keep their PCs up to date, you will have to account for IE6. If you're developing a website for geeks, you can ignore IE completely. ;) | pcuser42 (130) | ||
| 1358488 | 2013-11-02 00:07:00 | At a stretch I would cater for IE7(but there would have to be a pretty good reason for it), which would give me all round functionality but other than that I generally aim to make sure that my sites work in IE8 or higher. Any lower than that and I would expect the user to update their browser to something more recent. :) | Webdevguy (17166) | ||
| 1358489 | 2013-11-02 00:09:00 | And my point is proven :) | Nerdtastic (16693) | ||

If you're developing a website for geeks, you can ignore IE completely. ;) It would be more common to address a bigger market when developing a website, unless it's a gamers website then you develop it to cater for gamers :) |

| 1358491 | 2013-11-02 06:09:00 | And my point is proven :) Yup, so my baseline requirement would be to cater for IE8 (basic functionality) up to HTML5 which is pretty much what ever you can design :) |

| 1358493 | 2013-11-03 02:20:00 | #shudder people still use ie6 #shudder I visited my doctor a few weeks back and she was still on IE7 I think. I'm guessing that having an up to date browser wasn't a crucial necessity to her giving out good medical advice to patients. |

| 1358494 | 2013-11-05 09:14:00 | Thank you everybody who responded. I have been unable to get active for a few days but have perused the answers as they have hit my e-mail inbox. Yes I was referring to a calligraphic font. Yes I am designing the whole website or at least the common template files at the moment. I wasn't aware of the @fontface command. This may be the way to go. As I understand it I can actually store this font on the server and pull it for display from there. I need to do some further experimenting. I am wondering at this point whether this will actually need some sort of client side script. Short of being able to use this I will embed the required text in the format I want it in into a JPG file consisting of the background then call this as a single div. (or inline) This may be the only surefire way to ensure it displays on older browsers. The target viewers could indeed include people with older browsers and operating systems. John L. |
