Your probably right. Thats the reason the only javascript I use is the code I mentioned above. Although, unless you use server-side scripting, sometimes javascript is the only answer.

As for staying compatable with older browsers, thats a very debatable issue. There has to be a certain point where you stop supporting older browsers. For example, if i'm not mistaken, IE 3 doesn't support CSS.

Hardly any computers, that are used on a regular basis, are going to last over 6 years anyway, and if there is a person with a computer thats over 6 years old they probably almost never use it and so why build your website to support that person who almost never uses their computer anyway. So if my theory that most computers don't last over 6 years then their really is no point in trying to go out of your way to support browsers over 6 years old.

Think about it for a moment. Their sits a person booting up their windows 95 computer that he/she hasn't updated in 10 years and is still using IE 4. I think being able to view your website is going to be the least of their problems.
