Fluid Thinking

  • Reported by Nick

Apart from being the most... er... graceful term in the web's working glossary, "graceful degradation" is a simple but powerful technique. The first step in adapting that technique successfully is fluid thinking: accepting the unpredictability that rules the user interface of the web.

Check out the W3c WAI Level 2 11.2 11.2 Avoid deprecated features of W3C technologies. [Priority 2] For example, in HTML, don’t use the deprecated FONT element; use style sheets instead (e.g., the ‘font’ property in CSS). http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG10/wai-pageauth.html#tech-avoid-deprecated So inorder to be AA compliant with the WAI you can’t build bad code for Netscape 4.. Can I get an Amen to that?
