Internet Explorer Only

I thought I could only see this sign 10 years ago when the web is still new and the browser war is only between Netscape and Internet Explorer.

aia-web-browser-compatibili.gif

The Webmaster actually went thru all the trouble to detect a non-Internet Explorer and display an error message, instead of fixing the more prevalent problem- support for all browsers using compliant web languages.

My guess is that the Web team feels better satisfaction in showing their browser preference to their web visitors than to actually help their visitors find information on their website. Or could it be simply Microsoft sponsored their entire web infrastructure?

Still, it doesn’t make sense to me at all. A classic meatball sundae example…

  • Apparently these guys who developed the AIA web pages live in Malaysia. They haven't heard of the IE killer yet.
  • Hate sites like this. They discourage traffic. They're most probably the work of some incompetent web-designers/programmers/masters, who couldn't maximize the site's compatibility by recognizing other browsers.

    Browser-discrimination is indeed, a thing of the past. It should be.
  • Yeah, if your site decides to discriminate visitors by the web browsers they use, it just goes to show you how much you care about your prospective customers and their experience.

    http://finance.google.com works in any browser. It's never about the technology, but always the people.

    Someone forward these lazy developers these links:

    1) It is irritating, but actually in certain cases only 1 browser can be supported. In a case you would be familiar with.. online stock trading platform software! Excelforce, used by RHB, SJ Securities and others, only works fully in IE.

    But of course, that being said, the web team could have made basic information available to non-IE users.

    2) It is very easy to detect non-IE browsers: it only needs ONE line of code to redirect non-IE browsers to another page.
