Sorry, IE sucks (although IE Mac is fairly decent from what I here) in all areas that really count (such as standards compliance). > won't work properly with anything else. That's because IE is fairly dominant in the Windows market. Why should the webmaster for RedHat assume ANYONE using that script is going to be using IE? After all, it is a renewal for an RHN demo account to keep your LINUX box up2date. I personally generally refuse to code a site specifically for IE. I try my best to be HTML/XHTML and CSS valid with my sites. I also dislike having to make work arounds for my website that make it look like SHIT just so it works in IE. I'm gonna stop here before I turn this into a flamewar. My apologies if it already has become one. > > I found it amusing when I had to renew my demo RHN subsription and > could not because the browser on my in-laws system was Netscape 4.75 > on W98.

An e-mail reply > should suffice. Why should a webmaster be expected to be backwards compatible with a browser that's ANCIENT? It's like expecting RedHat to still maintain RH 1.0 (or 4.2). It makes no sense. If your in-laws can run Win98, upgrade them to Mozilla 1.4 or even Firebird. -- Wielder of the mighty +1 LARTsaber of Unsubscribe Instructions At End of Message, the +3 Clue-by-Four of No Attachments to a Mailing List, and the -4 Shield of No Spell Checker http://joseph-a-nagy-jr.homelinux.org -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
