Best solution for CSS3 non-compatible users

by Ed Micah

If you were to build a site with CSS3 styled, how would you have configured the coding to look after those users/visitors whose browsers are not compatible with CSS3 (ie, older versions of internet explorer).

Anyone? any solutions?

    erm... graceful degradation for IE users, which is automatic as long as you're keeping things simple (for example, rounded corners etc).

    alternative use conditional stylesheets - Google it

      I've thought about conditional stylesheets, is that the only solution though?

        I think it's the best solution if you really want a fully compatible website. Personally I don't bother - IE users can do without the bells and whistles

          IE can go die. But then, the majority of internet users still use IE -____-

    Should I just screenshot the CSS3 styled sections(corners, shadows, etc), and use the image version in the conditional stylesheet for the IE users?

    So in the end, the outcome would be the same?
