If you aspire to read the legacy of postings here you will see numerous
references to both IE5 on the Macintosh and the Macintosh itself. Fact is
that if of the current coders here work on Macintosh. Also, as stated prior
IE5 has a serious bug. It fails to return dynamic setHeight and setWidth,
hence knocks the knees out from under most of the dynamic widgets. It is
the crux of the problem on that browser and OS.
Seeing how you appear to work on a Macintosh and you have an inspired
"passion" to see DynAPI embrace and work within it maybe you should focus
your energies there. Many have taken pot shots at it. It's a known Mac IE5
bug, not a DynAPI issue, the challenge is to find a "hack-around" that
manages to fool the browser into behaving.
Cheers,

For me Loadpanel works on NS and IE (not sure on NS6 yet) on Windows and NS
on Macintosh and Linux. NS6 is new, an if you read the history of its
release it was "not ready for primetime" and mozilla.org was against it.
But evidently Netscape was desperate to show some sign of life. The claims
of most DOM compliance are more PR hyperbole and software fact, it has some
serious bugs yet.
Hope it helps..
