Comment on CSS Curiosities of the Past

Comments

I last heavily worked with CSS in 2010/2011. These still don't feel old to me.

There came a point where if you wrote good HTML/CSS that passed the W3C validator, you were golden on pretty much any device. This still rings true today.

And that point was when the public sector finally abandoned IE6. It has all been peachy since then.

When working in the public sector in 2016 I had a person seriously annoyed with me for dropping IE6 support when all their libraries (as in buildings with books) were still on it.

Healthcare industry here. I couldn't drop IE6 until COVID.

Lots of doctors offices and others were still running it. But when the virus slashed our staff, we finally got permission to drop the extra work of supporting IE.
