Woah, hang on I didn't insult you at all and I'm certainly not here for an argument either. I'm merely stating some points.
I simply disagreed with your arguments over the benefits of using the latest coding standards.

And I disagree with you. A website will work in a browser without being standards compliant - so most people don't see the need to. In fact, there's a lot more people that don't care if it only works in one browser.

You were wrong in saying "Its all about percentages. and specifically demographics". Accessibility is about much more than that.
A website can work and function in EVERY browser. For the designer, it's about understanding what the capabilities of each browser and designing accordingly. You certainly WON'T have a page with nothing on it - unless of course you're using a text only browser

In a nutshell, you can build a site much quicker the "old fashioned way" as in tables for layout for example.

Because, and this is the important point, I do not care what you do. I do not care how you code your site. or anyone else. However, I do hope that more people code in a more accessible way but at the end of the day, not having access to any particular site would not bother me, as there is nothing on the internet that is important enough to warrant the effort, except for maybe sending/receiving a few emails. |
I am definitely on the same hymn sheet with you in terms of hoping more people will code their websites in an acccessible fasion.
Yet, you still refer to Accessibility as if it was all to do with the latest coding standards... Accessibility and coding standards are two completely different things.
