Look at your stats. I took the opportunity to look at mine and see that all flavors of IE 5.x account for less than 0.4% of my traffic. All flavors of Netscape combined is about 0.6%. Firefox is about 5.5% and Safari is about 2.8%. Thats just me, YMWV. So for me, 5.0 browsers are a pretty insignificant minority and so I am not too worried about them. That being said, I do make sure that the site is functional in all those... meaning I don't have anything that prevents anyone in a 5.x browser from using the site, but I don't worry that much about the details. -- Kevin Murphy Webmaster: Information and Marketing Services Western Nevada Community College www.wncc.edu 775-445-3326 ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7b2 testing hub -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
