Comments on: MSIE and how it’s not CSS compliant. http://www.lloydleung.com/2004/10/03/some-css/ Thoughts, ramblings, projects.

There is still a signifigant portion of the online population who are still using dial-up. If your flash based website gets too large these people may not want to use it. The good thing about CSS & XHTML is that it is designed for use on a variety of different platforms. Not just three. If you use a good structure for your content, headings, etc. Then your website can be viewable on a variety of devices, like mobile phones, text only browsers and all of the accessibility software that most people with good eye sight and full range of motion in their arms and hands never think about. You can even use CSS to format your content for printing, so that you don't have to make two different versions of your XHTML, just add some aditional rules to your css to turn off the parts of your site that don't make sense on a printed page. The navbar for example. Mmmm food for thought :) -Sam The problem with Flash is that not everyone is on broadband.
