 My American client uses the Compuserve 7.0 browser (very uncommon here in
 Europe) and doesn't see the left column of the forms.
 I was informed that Compuserve 7.0 = IE6. ... I cannot find any info about
this browser concerning browser compatibility.

CompuServe was (is still?) owned by AOL.  AOL bought CompuServe and at the
same time they [AOL] were promoting Netscape as the browser of choice for
CompuServe customers.  AOL nearly moved to Netscape, but instead stuck with
IE.  So, I am not 100% sure, but I think the problem may be with a Netscape
browser?

As for Mac browser testing:
IE 5.2.3/Mac is showing the form area as a single column instead of the two
columns displayed by other browsers.  Your client may not be seeing the two
columns, but he is (I'm guessing) at least seeing all the information...it's
just not displaying in two columns.

Have a look around this site for some info on IE 5/Mac and CSS:

 Google says it's a gecko engine. According to [1], the user agent string
 of Compuserve 7 is

 Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:0.9.4.2) Gecko/20020502 CS
 2000 7.0/7.0.
That would explain it - there were some pre 1.0 builds of Gecko
(including the one that Netscape 6.0 used) in which floated label
elements caused form elements to vanish (actually, to position way
offscreen).

Thanks Rahul,
If Compuserve 7.0 is not IE6, what is it ?

And I ment IE5 and Mac browsers, sorry.

So you might want to download this old Moz at evolt.org to check for 
yourself.

[css-d] Compuserve 7.0

2005-12-12 Thread Josine Krant
Hello,
My name is Josine Krant and I live in the Netherlands.
This is my first posting here.
I build my two-column forms with CSS and that works fine In IE6 and FF.

http://212.203.14.56/ictb/test/pre-coursequestionnaire.htm
http://212.203.14.56/ictb/test/ictb.css

My American client uses the Compuserve 7.0 browser (very uncommon here in 
Europe) and doesn't see the left column of the forms.
I was informed that Compuserve 7.0 = IE6. But I doubt it. How do I make the 
forms visible in this browser? I cannot find any info about this browser 
concerning browser compatibility. Or do I tell the client to get rid of this 
browser to be able to see his own site correctly?

And if anyone can check the left menu on the mac and in IE5, down in the 
workshop pages, that would be very welcome. I used some hacks but I am not 
sure I did it in the right way.

Thanks for your help
Josine Krant
