I visited a website recently; it recommended using Internet Explorer version 6.0 or higher. I found the idea nostolgic and amusing.
The website was clearly designed several years ago, when there were good reasons to require specific browsers.
But today, such a statement makes one look foolish. Firefox, Safari, Chrome, and Opera all perform well. Internet Explorer's share of the market has dropped, and one must design a website for the bunch, not the one.
There is no good reason to design a website for a single browser, nor demand IE6 as a minimum. Even Microsoft is requesting that people move on from IE6!
Websites are dynamic, and even websites with static content must change. They must grow with the standards or die.
