When Lee talked about "iehacks.css" in Issue25 and supporting old browsers, I wondered just what is currently being used. I run Google Analytics on my site, so I looked at its results:

IE = 82% --- with a 50-50 split IE6 and IE7. One visit from an old browser IE 4.01 and no IE5

FF = 16% --- with 92% being FF V2.* and 8% FF V1.*

The remainder was a mix of Opera, Safari, Netscape etc.

If what I am seeing is the norm, then I will know how much attention to give to IE5.* and the rest of the browsers that I can't easily test.

I would be interested in what others are seeing. I be DNN Creative's numbers have even less old browsers. I would suspect that its customer base is running the latest.

Yes browser use on a site completely depends on your website audience. On DNN creative most people are completely up-to-date, but for a different site your audience may still be using old equipment with IE5. - Its one of those calls where you just need to use some common sense. Even if a small percentage still use IE5 I still try to ensure that my skins work in IE5.5, - IE5.01 I'm less concerned about.

Out of interest DNN Creatives analytics are:
IE = 65%
 - 7 = 64.48%
 - 6 = 35.47%
- 5.01 = 0.03%
- 5.5 = 0.01%
- 4.01 = 0.01%
- 5.17 = >0.00%

(The values from 5.01 and 5.5 could be me actually testing the site!)

FF = 32%
Opera = 1.4%
Safari = 0.95%
Mozilla = 0.15%
Netscape = 0.04%
