Same here. (Hi all!) > The client sent me a screen shot of the site taken from their browser ( > IE5...which i don't have ) > that basically displayed a mangled site.

I wouldn't support IE 5.x if it could be helped. > My question to you guys is how do you develop & test your websites to ensure > they are interpreted correctly > by older more popular browsers ?

A quick look around the site and I find myself somewhat impressed. I'm intending to try this out over the next couple of weeks. http://www.crossbrowsertesting.com/ Essentially, it's a VNC-like setup to Virtual Machines running various OS's and Browsers. Some of the VM's described do have IE 5 installed. Some caveats: - IIRC, your site will need to be available online - I can't vouch for their security policies. - If you don't want to pay for time slots, you're limited to 5 minute sessions. Depending on server load, you can jump right back in after a session expires.
