How to not make your website browser compatible

Published June 11th, 2009 by Davy Jones

Many many years ago before working for Anchor I built websites and I remember it sometimes being difficult to make things work the same way in every different browser available.

These days I’m a Mac user and granted Safari is not the most widely used browser but it’s been a while since I came across a site that failed so badly as this one.

In their defence, having told me that my browser might not work – they do provide a link to “proceed” anyway, the link takes me to this page:

Nice touch, and guess where clicking “here” took me to – back to the first page.

I know there will be plenty of people that will say I shouldn’t be surprised, what do you expect etc etc but seriously, it’s just not that hard to make a web page work in something other than IE anymore. WTF!!!!

But wait, there’s more, to get to this most helpful loop I had to go through this, and yes, that’s exactly how this page rendered in my browser.
