I would be happy with looking good but the client is not. They have a mixture of IE 5.5 and IE6. They have noticed the differences and want them to look the same.

For users, they open whatever is their preferred (or enforced) browser and browse your page in that. End of story. The only people likely to be browser hopping are other developers if you ask them to site check for you. If you're asking them, it's probably because they know what they're doing. In that case, they most likely understand and appreciate that different browsers render relative font sizes slightly differently. My advice to you would be to ask a different question when you look at the page. Instead of asking "Does the page look pixel-perfectly identical in all browsers?" you should ask "Does this page look okay in this browser?" for each browser you test in. As long as the text is readable and isn't breaking your layout, it's okay if it doesn't look exactly the same as in another browser. Pixel-perfection and accessibility just don't seem to mix. Just my take on the subject, anyway. :) Cheers, Seona. --- You are currently subscribed to cfaussie as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Aussie Macromedia Developers: http://lists.daemon.com.au/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This e-mail is sent by Suncorp-Metway Limited ABN 66 010 831 722 or one of its related entities "Suncorp".
