What is the difference between Progressive Enhancement and Graceful Degradation?

Question

I\'m confused on what the difference is between Progressive Enhancement and Graceful Degradation. To me they seem like the same thing.

Answer 1

I find it tends to be attitudinal - are you saying "okay, my site works with Lynx, users can do everything I want them to be able to do, now lets add some panache", or are you saying "okay, my site works in Firefox, now lets try to fix it for people not willing to use that/who turn off javascript/etc"
