Doesn't it also somewhat depend on your user base? If you have a general user base than this is fine. Web developers may use Firefox more. Graphic designers often prefer Macs over windows. There is the scientific community that in some instances may lean toward Linux. We have an intranet site which only is optimized for IE6. Knowing your user base is important. ______________________________________________________________________ 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/
