Great article, I agree with pretty much everything in it. Shame though that my boss and his clients have a different opinion most of the time, which is a problem most of us will face I’m afraid… I tried introducing HTML mockups instead of endless Photoshopping, but didn’t succeed :(
I just can’t understand why people expect a browser which is almost 5 (or even 10 in the case of IE6) years old to behave and have the same features as a brandnew browser. You don’t expect your 10-year old tv to have the same results as a brandnew HD 40” flatscreen, so why do you expect a 10 year old browser to correctly support features which weren’t even INVENTED yet?!
