like there is no full support of them yet, should not be an option. We need
to realize that we are the ones putting the wheels in motion and it’s up to
us to decide what will be supported in the future browsers and what will
not.
More exciting things will be coming in the future. We should design for the
future and we should design for today — making sure that our progressive
designs work well in modern browsers and work fine in older browsers. The
crucial mistake would be clinging to the past, trying to work with the old
nasty hacks and workarounds that will become obsolete very soon.
We can continue to cling to this notion and wait for older browsers to
become outdated, thereby selling ourselves and our potential short, or we
can adjust our way of thinking about this and come at the Web from a
whole new perspective. One where we understand the truth of the situation
we are faced with. That our designs are not going to look the same in every
browser and our code will not render the same in every browser. And that’s
the bottom line.
