Is Content Negotiation?
- As new content types are added to the web the web page designer
is faced by the dilemma of whether to use these new additions,
which may cause problems for those without the relevant plug-ins,
or to ignore them. This site considers this issue and how to best
solve it.
It is important to make sure your site looks good, as well as making
sure it contains useful information. Looking good not only means being
visually appealing to users of cutting edge browsers, but also to
users of low quality browsers who may not own the latest computer.
Good design should be visually appealing, but not without conveying
a message effectively.
