Our contract that is signed by the client informs them of what versions we
program for.
We also ask what browser the vlient is using - i.e 5 is very very old and
we never support it.

As a web designer, you should test your website in both current and older
browser versions (within reason!) - and get your friends to look at it on
their systems as well. This will help you see if there are colour

because of the Standard Operating Environment within their company. If
this isn't the case, you should try and convince your customer to

Yes, and now you can too [1]! Multiple IEs allows you to run copies of

Hi Chris
The best thing to do is to download Multiple Ie and install it on your
machine. Quite small actually but really good to test.

Dear Chris,
The only way is to develop the website for the most use browsers, IE6, and
also respect the new softwares like FF and Safari browsers.
IE5 dont support a lot of CSS at all and its not wort trying to fic the

I haven't used the Tredosoft version of multiple IEs,but I did use an earlier
incarnation of the same approach in 2005, withIE4, IE5.0 and 5.5 among the
browsers I tested. The results were notencouraging.
This approach is much more lightweight than having to first downloadmultiple

I have a quick question and would like your thoughts.
I am working with a team of coders that code images like:
img src=/images/18-digestive-diseases-2col.jpg alt=Digestive
Diseases border=0 height=150 width=388 /
My question is, do you need the border, height, and width or should that
be done
Hi James,
By specifying the dimensions in the markup, you're helping the browser to know
what space is taken up while it is fetching the files. This means the page
doesn't jog up and down as images are loaded.

Exactly what Tony said regarding width and height, they're beneficial. Lose
the border attribute, though. That should be done in the style sheet as you
suspected.
Cheers.

I don't think it is worth the time an effort to support old browsers
like IE 5. There aren't enough users who are surfing the web using such
old equipment to be worth the development time and expense.
There is always another browser to test. I think we need to focus on
the major ways people

You could put the two links into a list. That would separate them into two

Personally I would place the border in the CSS (although unless the image is
a link, it's surely unncessary), but the height and width in the HTML. My
reasoning is that these will (or at least may) vary for each image, and I
can't see the benefit of giving every image its own id just so that you
