Hmmm much though I agree...... if only things where that simple unfortunately around 85% of web users use IE4 already and much though it pains me to say so (maintiaining a commercial site with around 2000 lines of javascript) I like a lot of developer have no option but to occainsionally write stuff especially for >IE4 (I am getting to a mozilla version but it aint ready yet) by simply commercial restraints.
I suspect that the whole msn issue is something similar although I should imagine their reasons for not supporting the moz are somewhat different to ours (ie lack of programming resources) and rather more politically motivated. Matt <snip> I am off the opinion that anyone running apache, should add a javascript to their page, that tests for IE and pops up an alert to this effect: "You are using Internet Explorer to view this site. Although this site should work fine, we cannot guarantee that you will not lose some functionality because of your choise of browser, Microsoft do not always follow standards with the internet and as such we can not know for sure if it will work or not..(and neither can anyone other then Microsoft themselves.) we suggest you download Mozilla (free) mozilla.org This is a more standards compliant browser then Internet Explorer. Please click OK to continue. (should you wish to try.) If Ten million web sites started popping that up when visited by an IE user, Microsoft would Bcktrack pretty quickly as it might indent on their browser market share. Just some thoughts.... I may actually put up a warning like that I think,, rgds Frank <snip>
