When doing a website, do you think it's right to be code for only certain browser (ie the most used browsers like Firefox & IE (latest ver)) and to just say to other users of browsers like Safari, IE 5 , "sorry you cant use this site"

Obvious troll.

No, it's not ok.

It's ok to read the User-Agent and if he's using MSIE, send a Location: www.getfirefox.com . Then you only have to bother about making a website that's standards compilant, and all of your users will support it.

Cutting off 97% of the web from visiting your site is a great idea!

Fuck the design, as long as I can read shit, it's cool.

We have web standards so that we don't need to code for a specific browser. It's the browser's responsibility to meet standards, not the web designer to implement hacks to work around half a dozen mutually broken browsers.

If you had to pick, choose opera when testing your webpages. it's the most compliant browser out there. Firefox actually sucks and IE owns firefox in so many ways.

I'd better leave now because I hear some linux fags chanting "GEE PEE EL! GEE PEE EL!" in the background.

If you're talking about following standards, and then restrict users to only Fire-"I can't pass ACID2"-fox and MSIE, you're shooting yourself in the foot.

ACID2? Firefox passed that a long time ago. ACID3, thus far, has yet to be passed perfectly by Firefox.
