>> I would also suggest that when the new site is being made that it is modeled for compliant browsers first then add the necessary tweaks for IE, seems to make things a lot easier
Depends... Personally, I'm using an MSIE emulator for FF. (see http://webfx.eae.net/dhtml/ieemu/ ) MSIE has very convenient features missing in the standard. Thanks to __defineSetter__ and __defineGetter__ methods, one can define new properties in Mozilla equvalent to the MSIE properties. Sticking to the standard is very nice, in theory, the problem is when the standard is dumb, you restrict yourself to dumb functionalities. Just an example, the width, top, left etc. properties contain strings (ie. "100px"), not really convenient for calculations in a program. MSIE has added the pixelWidth, pixelTop, pixelLeft etc properties, that contain integer values that you don't have to parse. For instance the following declaration in Mozilla creates a pixelWidth property in Mozilla. You don't even have to test for the browser in the code. CSSStyleDeclaration.prototype.__defineGetter__("pixelWidth", function() { return parseInt(this.width) || 0; }); -- _______________________________________ REUSE CODE!
