Progressive Enhancement: A way to pull IE forward?
November 9th, 2008There’s been quite a bit of chatter these days about Progressive Enhancement, or Progressive Enrichment, depending on which definition you prefer. Either way, after years of lowest-common-denominator designing for IE 6 and worse, IE 5.5, it’s an exciting time for CSS designers. I wonder if this is a way for designers to pull Internet Explorer forward, rather than by looking backward to the installed user base. By showing a site’s best colors only in browsers that support tricks such as RGBa or border radius designers can, if they choose, create a virtual penthouse suite for the Safari, Firefox and Opera users out there. Using IE? Sorry, you don’t see the rounded corners. A new way to coax Microsoft forward? Just a thought.
