Re: [WSG] hiding styles from Mac IE5 : how to?
Kay Yep, Netscape 7 (7.01 I think) is basically Mozilla 1.01. It's available on the Mozilla.org old releases page. I believe 7.1 is forked off the Mozilla 1.4 codebase and that's when support for OS8 and 9 got dropped. There's a roadmap somewhere on the Moz site with all this.

I convinced a client on OS9 to upgrade from Netscape 4(!) to Netscape 7. I had to hunt for it - the very latest version of Netscape is OSX only, but a previous release was OS9 compatible. I think I found it on the Canadian Netscape site.

Re: [WSG] hiding styles from Mac IE5 : how to?
Hi Thanks everyone for the tips, I'll try them out and report back. If at the end of the day the solutions don't work I'll happily hide the stylesheets from it.. this browser is in the same basket as NN4 - not being updated anymore and population decreasing. At least then the content will be usable for those visitors. That said, I *will* try, as it is the only useful browser for OS8 - 9, apart from Mozilla 1.0x from 2002. thanks again James * The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help *

This is probably a good place to start: http://www.macedition.com/cb/ie5macbugs/ Cheers Jeff Lowder Accessibility 1st Website: www.accessibility1st.com.au Blog: www.accessibility1st.com.au/journal/ -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of James Ellis Sent: Saturday, 15 May 2004 3:33 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [WSG] hiding styles from Mac IE5 : how to? Hi all Having some problems with a site that is crashing IE5 on the Mac (OS8 to X). The code is moving towards HTML4 compliance with only a few character errors, tag ends i.e ">" instead of " />"' , and one id clash left to fix. I tested the site and it works perfectly on : IE5.5, 6 for Windows. The Geckos (Netscape 7, Mozilla, Camino, FF) Safari Opera 7.0 - 7.5 on all OS's partial (content readable) on IE5.0 for Win. I have borrowed an old Mac OS9 fliptop/frisbee and will do some testing on Monday - i came across this site http://www.l-c-n.com/IE5tests/hiding/ while googling and am thinking of employing this method. Given that the site is usable for of users I'm not prepared to invest the time in hacking a stylesheet so that one browser that MS doesn't make any more is okwith the risk of breaking it for the above browsers. Unfortunately IE5 on OS9 is the only browser for this OS (apart from some older Mozilla's like 1.01) I'd rather hide styles which I know is the problem so has anyone had any experience with the single quote @import method in the above link?. I guess it'll hide em for NN4 as well. If you want to have a look at the site in IE5 on the Mac I can send a link off list.

Re: [WSG] hiding styles from Mac IE5 : how to?
If you just want to hide certain things from IE 5.2 Mac, then use comments as shown below. You need that \ at the end onf the top comment for it to work. /* Hide from IE5 Mac \*/ ((whatever you want to hide)) /* End Hide */ On May 15, 2004, at 01:33, James Ellis wrote: Hi all Having some problems with a site that is crashing IE5 on the Mac (OS8 to X).
