We should all make the effort - especially sites that claim to promote css.

Average idiot designer - 'but it'd work if it was in tables'
You - 'it's a shoddy browser'
Them - 'people still use it'

They win. Sites are built for people not for browsers. They're just tools and you can't expect everyone to be an expert in choosing and using these tools. That's not their job, but it's your job to present information to them - whether they are using shit browsers or not. So any issues you have with browsers shouldn't result in a poorly rendered site for the average joe just so you can make a point to Bill Gates & Friends.

Imagine mechanics did this - 'your alloy wheels are shit, so we won't change all your tyres. It's up to you to buy the alloys we like'.

All this anti-hack stuff annoys me - it's not living in the real world.
Basically, the box model hack is not hard to implement and it allows more people to see the site correctly, so there should be no hesitation.


But if we are going to draw a line, I'll be starting at IE on the mac.
