Supporting users who use dead and deficient browsers like NS4 and IE4
with regard to CSS is simple via for example the @import construct. IIRC
this also protects IE5/Mac. This reduces the need to know anything about
the awful CSS support in these browsers to nil.
Afraid not. IE5/Mac understands @import and there are very few CSS
hacks that will hide on IE5/Mac that don't also hide on IE6/Win (if
you consider IE6/Win to be something other than dead and deficient). I
don't remember there being anything comparable to @import or similar
for hiding an entire file.
It does appear to be rapidly dying out as a browser from my web logs [1] -
Comparable number of hits to Konqueror.
[1] Usual disclaimers about horrible levels of inaccuracy
apply. Additionally, the 2:1 ratio of IE/other browsers suggests that
these results may not be entirely typical anyway.
