I've found that the way IE4 and IE5 render percent widths is different.  For
example...

IE5 will shrink other columns, even if you have a fixed width size (ie -
WIDTH='50') in a table if you have one of the column widths set to 100%.  I
find this annoying because I do this often to make some columns of a table
resize with the page, and others to maintain a fixed width.  This is
especially annoying when you have two different tables and you want the
column to match up.

For example, I built a listview component that uses an IFRAME to display the
list, but the header columns are displayed in the parent frame.  Getting the
columns to match is more of a pain in IE5.

Actually, it seems like IE5 handles % widths more like the Mac IE4.5 does.
It's seem like more of a behavioral thing in the way it was implemented.
Just something to watch for.

That's about the thing I've noticed.

Cheers,
Matthew

They both support at least HTML 4.0, IE5 just has some proprietry and
non-standard extensions that you can use if you want to limit your site to
only be viewed by one browser.

If you are writing a web app to be compatible on both, simply make sure it
only uses HTML 4.0 code in its presentation.

Hi all,
could  any body give some information or give some source for the
information related to  the differences between the IE4 and IE5 and what
aspect of a web application should  be scrutinised for compliance in both.
This is urgent

thanks in advance,
Rahul
