I think Davoud's response shows us why the answer to the question posed in the subject is "virtually nothing." There are too many people using other browsers, and unless we're going to be creating websites to work specifically in Firefox, we're still going to have to work with the lowest common denominator in the name of site, which has NEVER been Firefox, in the name of "site stability." Most of the compromises I've made in my own web design efforts have been to account for Internet Explorer's inadequacies. Only once have I had to make a change because of a Firefox problem, where I found a completely valid CSS construct that crashed the Gecko rendering engine (I never revisited that construct, since there are always people out there who don't keep their browsers up to date, so even if the bug is fixed, I don't want to be crashing the browsers of people who don't bother keeping up to date). That the new Firefox can pass the acid stress test is really nice, but since we're talking about a browser that has, depending on who you ask, 5-15% of the browser market share, it really doesn't mean much to a web developer that isn't willing to spite everyone who uses inferior rendering engines. :) Erik Harris http://www.eHarrisHome.com - AIM: KngFuJoe - Yahoo IM: kungfujoe7 - ICQ: 2610172 - Chinese-Indonesian Martial Arts Club http://www.kungfu-silat.com ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
