That doesn't mean we can't participate in continuing to push for browser standards, though. We can continue to educate the public and encourage them to use standards-compliant browsers. We can post information and links at our Web sites. We can inform our clients. We can continue to encourage the browser creators and companies to follow standards, and we can thank them when they do by using their products and helping them thrive.
Word of mouth is very powerful.
Let as many people know as possible why it matters to upgrade their browsers. There are endless ways to support brower standards. The above are just a few ideas. The lack of standards prior to the above browser releases has impacted every single user of the Internet. Web site owners have either had to pay their developers to spend all the extra time tweaking and hacking code to make their pages work with the gazillion variables and problems with non-compliant browsers, or they've had to exclude a LOT of users to their site since the pages won't work or aren't usable.
