Note for Web Developers
Posted by Zeno in Technology on August 4, 2009
I have NO idea why, but one of the first things I learned when coding websites (and I am very new to it, if anyone hasn’t noticed by my choppy coding), that your websites need to degrade gracefully.
Having said that, I have noticed a large number of websites using JavaScript to call their CSS, which being that I run no-script in firefox, as well as many that I know, this completely breaks their website on first visit, and doesn’t really let you decide if you want to allow this new site to run scripting on my machine.
So, my hint/rant for the day is, if you want to use scripting to call your CSS for different browser platforms, at least leave one standard CSS call in the HTML code so that those visiting your site with scripting disabled don’t meet a white page with nothing but un-formated text going off into infinity.
