Great video. Can appreciate what was discussed and great question at the end about media queries.

Great talk. I didn’t know Håkon Wium Lie was the co-founder of CSS. Yes, CSS3 is very powerful and we need to use that power new – all major+modern browsers support CSS3 and that’s a good news.

Nicely done Hakon Wium Lie! But IE6 doesn’t support CSS3 yet. If we want to build a website for corporate, must consider all those things.

IE6… in all honnesty if you still use IE6, too bad. Then why don’t we concider the IE5 users or the FF2.0 or anyother outdated browser?

It’s just the reality of the situation in some cases. You work for a company (like me), which provides services to other companies who refuse to upgrade due to costs. These aren’t small companies either, so they have quite a bit of influence over what is done in the corporate world.

We should be able to build web designs that degrade gracefully when used with < CSS3 browsers. Most of the new stuff can be given a fall back, e.g. a rectangle instead of rounded corners, or a solid background instead of a gradient.
We shouldn't hamper ourselves simply because some people still use CSS3

Sorry but if ANYONE still thinks IE6 should be supported, you shouldn’t be a web developer. Its beyond the point of “company x still uses it”. That’s their problem – the web shouldn’t have to wait because a company cant be arsed to pull its finger out.
I appreciate that some companies use it because their custom systems wont work on newer browsers (I still find that hard to believe), however again – that’s their problem.
I for one would NEVER consider hiring a developer who still makes sure sites work in IE6 – the sooner the whole web screws up for IE6 the better.
I’m not posting this to come across as an ass or anything, but its gotta be done. Tough Love!

I totally agree RickM, but for a project not so long ago I made a site IE6 compliant that needed to be nicely visible for an older audience. It appeared that they still used IE6 in 22% of the cases.
In general you’re right, but I think you need to look at the audience still using the site (ie the last 2 months). If it’s less than 10%, I don’t care. But if more, you are neglecting a huge potential while making a IE6 version isn’t that hard.
Luckily everything is changing real fast now.
