I'm working on learning html/css/java etc so I can maintain a church website
and am currently rewriting said site to use css instead of tables for
formating. After getting a good chunk of the way through the rewrite I
decided to try viewing the site in other browsers, Netscape, mozilla and
Opera, to see how well the would handle a site designed for IE 6. Of course
there are differences so I was looking into detecting different browsers so
I could add in css sheets to fix individual browser problems. Here's the
kicker, should I be designing the default page for IE 6 or something else?
What I mean is do I make a page that looks good in IE 6 and fix it for the
other browsers or do I use something else and fix the page for IE 6 quirks
and bugs?? Which browser is more Standards Complient? I figure that I'd be
better off getting as close to Complient as possible and adding fixes for IE
6 but I'm not sure WHICH browser is the closest. Any suggestions??
