"The ones my client's visitors/employees use" No really, that's not a cop-out, it's a serious answer. Clients have logs for their existing Web site, and, for extranets, know what their employees have on their desktop. We code for those browsers. Looking at stats can be deceiving, because they tell you about the whole internet, not the specific people who will be visiting your client's site. For instance, we had a client last year 15% of whose visitors were using Netscape 3 (this was an educational services vendor). So of course we tested with NS 3. Of course, we may determine that certain applications will have certain target browsers, because of client needs (management tools, for instance, often require PC IE 5, simply to make them convenient to code - assuming the client has access to that browser, of course) Here's our set-up: PC IE 3, 4, 5, 5.5, 6 Mac IE 4, 4.5, 5, 5.1.5 PC & Mac NS 4.75, 6.2 PC & Mac Opera 5 Versions of NS 4 before 4.75 are awfully buggy and use really the same rendering engine, so upgrade to those. NS 6.2 is awfully slow as well, we're planning an upgrade to 7 soon.
