What does he mean with "does not work"? If it only looks ugly, I don't
 think it's important to waste time on this. Who still uses IE anyway?
:o) ...on the Coccinella website only 13% of our visitors used IE
yesterday B-) Ok, I admit that's an outlier, though for the last month
this number was also only 18% (Safari has 10%). 57% of them uses the
latest version IE 7.0 which is claimed to have better W3C support.
These IE7 visitors will probably also switch very fast to IE8 when
that is available. Microsoft promises IE8 will be better again for web
standards. That would mean only less than 9% will still use a
problematic IE version a year from now on (I guess 5 or 6%). So, is
that worth the time to create workarounds for bad IE versions, or is
is better to simply suggest visitors using a bad IE version to update
their browser or switch to another browser?
