Dear Scott,
I think helping your client to install a proper web browser would also
eliminate
other website problems also.
IE5 have terrible CSS support and you will need to make table design
again to
make a website look ok in IE5... dont even go there.!!!
using a IE5 is really ancient nad
As much as I agree to what your are saying regarding IE5, it is still
ignoring the fact that people are using it, albeit a small proportion.
If your client absolutely _needs_ it, then you will have to code for
it.
I think this has already been mentioned but perhaps if you could get a
hold of some
In a way it's like designing websites for disabled people, it's
probably 0.01% of the visitors, but we should provide ways for them to
move around the website and make it more accessible, so it 0.5% uses
IE5 then we should provide a website that is at least working properly

Agreed. I go back as far as IE6 because last time I checked my site
logs just over 44% of IE users were using that version (with just over
55% using v7). IE5
Our contract that is signed by the client informs them of what versions we
program for.
We also ask what browser the vlient is using - i.e 5 is very very old and
we never support it.

As a web designer, you should test your website in both current and older
browser versions (within reason!) - and get your friends to look at it on
their systems as well. This will help you see if there are colour
inconsistencies as well as coding ones. Unless you are designing for an
intranet and
Hi Chris,
In some cases customers are locked into to using a particular browser
because of the Standard Operating Environment within their company. If
this isn't the case, you should try and convince your customer to
upgrade to a newer browser.
Other than that, if you have access to a

Yes, and now you can too [1]! Multiple IEs allows you to run copies of
various versions of IE, going all the way back to IE3. I have noticed

Hi Chris
The best thing to do is to download Multiple Ie and install it on your
machine. Quite small actually but really good to test.

Dear Chris,
The only way is to develop the website for the most use browsers, IE6, and
also respect the new softwares like FF and Safari browsers.
IE5 dont support a lot of CSS at all and its not wort trying to fic the

Personally I wouldn't support IE5 for a full design, it's just too old - for

I use the Multiple IE too, but a have some unexpected problems when i try to
view some site in IE 5.5 version !!!

I haven't used the Tredosoft version of multiple IEs,but I did use an earlier
incarnation of the same approach in 2005, withIE4, IE5.0 and 5.5 among the
browsers I tested. The results were notencouraging.
This approach is much more lightweight than having to first downloadmultiple

I don't think it is worth the time an effort to support old browsers
like IE 5. There aren't enough users who are surfing the web using such
old equipment to be worth the development time and expense.
There is always another browser to test. I think we need to focus on
