The question is who is that 26% and do you have to care about them? I've
been developing an app for a private audience, inside an intranet, so you'd
think it would be easy in that at least I know whom to expect and what they
are running. Turns out that some of my most  useful cute Web 2.0 tricks fail
in the browser that a lot of them are running:  IE6. Why don't they upgrade?
Because, I am told, IE6 is the top and the end of the line for their Windows
flavor, Win 2K , and management doesn't want to pay Microsoft prices to
upgrade. I need Scriptaculous' autocompleter to work -- it's supposed to
support IE6, but it aint so in my case. I am forced to consider dumbing down
my UI to the lowest common denominator.

Pardon the OT, I guess is isn't about CSS per se.
