I pick the set I think will work for the proposed audience, and test across that. Its pretty broad, but doesnt include V4-- browsers without string data. Once the site is live, I look at the stats, but I take the percentage from visits, not page views, ie I want to catch those people who leave at the first page because it looks awful. Then I may re-evaluate. A browser has to get above about 2.5% before I will consider doing extra work to support it, and often a lot higher than that if there is a small audience. I suppose that is the reverse of your question - I decide how far I will go, rather than where I will stop :) HIH Lea -- Lea de Groot Elysian Systems - I Understand the Internet <http://elysiansystems.com/> Search Engine Optimisation, Usability, Information Architecture, Web Design Brisbane, Australia ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
