Ask HN: How do you communicate what your browser compatibility policy is?

8 pointsby Athtarabout 14 years ago
Alright HN, maybe you can help me with this:<p>I am working on putting together a Browser Compatibility/Support document for our company and was wondering if anyone here has a template/example that they used to create their browser support statement?<p>I found a couple good ones I like:<p>http://www.bbc.co.uk/guidelines/futuremedia/technical/browser_support.shtml<p>http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/articles/gbs/<p>but they don't have any reasoning behind why selected those specific browsers. I am hoping for something that has a bit more information on not just the what but the why behind those selections. And something that communicates that in a nice and convincing fashion to the clients. :)

The BBC one looks like you should just copy it, with the caveat that it's tailored to <i>their</i> visitors and you should look at your analytics and adjust it to suit whatever your company's site visitors lean towards.<p>Their own visitors will be the missing reasoning behind everything they listed and the prioritization.

I write "Bested viewed in Netscape Navigator 3.0+" on my footer.
