everyone and I do mean everyone - any browser, any OS (which really means anything non-Windows), small screens, no keyboard, with cookies blocked, disabled JavaScript, blind, colorblind, thinks Flash is evil, thinks Silverlight is even worse, uses an old browser, stuck on a really slow connection (or is an AT&T customer), or only uses their thumb. And do it in a way that you can start using all the new and cool stuff available with the Open Web Platform and HTML5. Alternate Title:
Web’s usefulness and growth is universality. The Web should be usable by people with disabilities. It must work with any form of information, be it a document or a point of data, and information of any quality—from a silly tweet to a scholarly paper. And it should be accessible from any kind of hardware that can connect to the Internet: stationary or mobile, small screen or large.
standard in the near future, right now you cant really use anything of it ’cause not every browser supports it. I think till every browser is somewhat close to being the same (render wise), we’ll be stuck working to get the lowest common css version working. I can’t wait to start using the new CSS3 standard, but I don’t think we can start just yet. Especially when IE isn’t supported in some of these. Considering that half the population still uses IE6, I won’t be implementing CSS3 anytime soon.
in the print medium, and often desire in the web medium, is simply a function of the limitation of the printed page. We should embrace the fact that the web doesn’t have the same constraints, and design for this flexibility.
