Not sure why Net * / IE 6 were displaying the upgrade message, but in any case its not a good idea to use display: none to hide content unless you don't' mind it being hidden from some screen readers.
I usually use the following which positions the hidden content offscreen: .hide { position: absolute; top: -5000px; left: -5000px; } See http://www.alistapart.com/articles/fir - a bit old now but has results from some screen reader tests.

We are using the WASP Invisible Object Method to display the "Upgrade Note". I downloaded NS 8 and the page displayed correctly for me and has been displaying correctly in IE 6 and FireFox. I know that if the user disables CSS that they would receive the message but we spoke to the guy on the phone and he didn't have CSS disabled through the accessibility feature on IE. I don't know how to disable CSS in Netscape 8. I really need your help. Going CSS and standards compliant was a big step and lots of red tape. We are hoping to have all CDC using CSS for layout over the next several months. Any ideas on what could be going on? Thanks. "I just logged onto the site: http://www.cdc.gov/katrina/ At the top the notation appears: Note: If you can read this text, you are probably using a browser that is not compliant with current Internet standards. You may want to upgrade your browser Unfortunately, I am using Netscape 8.0.3.3 and Internet Explorer 6.0.2800 with the same results." Melissa H.
