Amen Aparajita, while I agree it is necessary to test across all possible browsers and I do, taking it to the extreme and going back through all versions has to have its limits. At least as far as CSS support is concerned. I do have to admit I have been surprised lately by the number of users still running Win95 and IE 3 or 4. Especially up here where there are lots of users on dialup and so all they know is hurry up and wait.

Just a note on using the <Div> to do this wait page, you need to do lots of testing on where the two sections are displayed on the page, as changing the size of either section will affect the overall look and feel. Also if someone hits the back button, they will get the progress view of the page instead of the original form view, unless they hit refresh after hitting the back button. I am still looking for a way to handle this. An automatic refresh might work, but you don't want that all the time. Will let you know if I find something that works.

Unless someone threatens your life or your livelihood, browsers that
old (and we are talking VERY old) are NOT worth supporting. I enforce
a minimum of Win IE 5 on my client's sites, and they have yet to have
any major complaints. On the Mac side I won't even support IE 5, as
it is an end-of-life, unsupported product. If a user tries to use my
site with it, I explain that fact and give them a list of free,
better alternatives. Again, no one complains.

I will not kill myself or cripple my sites for people who are too
lazy to upgrade their browser once every four or five years! Of
course, if your target audience is a government bureaucracy, you may
have no choice.
