even if it is about .1% of the general Internet users? There might be an argument if stats could be provided for the user base, but that does not seem to be acceptable. What if you have 0 hits with Nav4? Do you still need to support it? You can avoid the crashers (if you want). You can move your sites to CSS based layout now it is a far superior way to handle page layouts! Last I saw IE has around 97% of the market with the bulk being v5+. Still you can design the page to degrade somewhat gracefully - the ns4 users are not that picky... I have been trying to get a CSS based site into forrest (along with some other interesting ideas) but the prevailing order seems to be taking an ostrich strategy toward many things (linking in particular)... Here is our new site with a pure CSS layout (still under dev): http://livesb.livestoryboard.com/ Here is a little fancier one we did: http://cytogenix.com/ best, -Rob --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
