One significant consequence of our standards based approach to web page design using XHTML and CSS is that all pages within the site will be usable with any web browser software, including older and non-compliant browsers such as Netscape Navigator 4.01 and Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0.
Because we take care to ensure that page layout degrades gracefully in these circumstances, some design elements will appear differently, but this will not affect site usability.
When using a CSS standards compliant user agent, the site graphic design will be correctly reproduced.
The following user agents are known to be standards compliant:
1. Microsoft IE 6.0 (Windows, Macintosh) and upwards
2. Microsoft IE 5.5 (Macintosh)
3. Microsoft IE 5.0 (Windows)
4. Netscape 7.x (Windows, Macintosh, Linux, Solaris)
5. Mozilla 1.x (Windows, Macintosh, Linux, Solaris)
6. Opera 6, 7 (Windows, Macintosh, Linux, Solaris)
7. Safari 1 and 2 (Macintosh)
8. Firefox 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0
The following user agents will display pages with a decrease in design fidelity, but with complete usability:
- Netscape 4.7 (Windows, Macintosh, Linux, Solaris)
- Microsoft IE 4.0 (Windows, Macintosh)
- Lynx (Linux, Solaris)
Unless standards compliant behaviour is removed from future versions of user agent software, we can be assured that the sites will continue to work correctly with no further modification as newer software is released.
