Web Standards X The Browser Nightmare
Why we yet suffer with browsers which doesn´t support web standards?
There are standards, and the responsible organization is the W3C .
If your browser doesn´t follow web standards, complain with your browser supplier, don´t curse the poor web designer, who did a good work learning, researching, to make a modern web site. Welcome to the 21st century. There a list of browsers to you make a upgrade.
If you are starting a new web project, and your manager or client aren´t aware of standards, caution! Stop everything, explain the reasons, there is a lot of them around.
I already worked in very poor standarlized projects. I konw what I´m saying.
My 2 cents.

I strongly support web standards and bulletproof practices, but here and there we face the dual problem of having to support widely used browsers that don’t.
Sending everything to hell seems very tempting, however, seems more likely that people will stop using you as a developper instead of stop using poor browsers.
A graceful degradation that is not that graceful, toghether with some directions for the user to upgrade seems nice.
Easier said than done, I know. I’d be delighted to know a really good way to do this.
