RE: [WSG] Differences between IE5.5 on 98 and XP?
The reason is that its IE ! Reason enough ! Would be hard to tell without looking at it directly.

After tweaking a layout to get it to look the same (not necessarily pixel perfect, though) in Firefox, IE6, and IE5, the client reviews it and tells me there is a problem in IE5.5. After seeing the screen shot (I don't think I fully believed it before that), I looked for a possible source. The best I could find was a little bit of clutter: some rules which weren't needed. There are only two significant differences of which I'm aware: I'm running XP and his IE5.5 machine is 98, and I have 5.01, 5.5, and 6 all running simultaneously, his is just 5.5. Is anyone aware of any reasons for differences? ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help ** ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help **

Is anyone aware of any reasons for differences? Does your layout work with Conditional Comments? If that's the case, you won#t recognize the correct layout in your standalone IE5.5, because of the wrong CC-information it gets from the installed IE6. Unfortunately I don't know any documentation of changes in the IEs from ServePack to ServicePack. There might be changes just like there were in case of XP SP2. -- Gretings from Germany, Jens Grochtdreis [www.grochtdreis.de] [blog.grochtdreis.de] [www.css-faq.de] ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help **

I'm aware of that, but it's not an issue here: !--Conditional comment to compensate for IE rendering problems-- !--[if IE] link rel=stylesheet type=text/css href=assets/css/ie-fixes.css / ![endif]-- (I kind of like the name of that CSS file.) ;-) Unfortunately I don't know any documentation of changes in the IEs from ServePack to ServicePack. There might be changes just like there were in case of XP SP2. I was think about that myself, except I don't have the problem in 5.01. ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help **

Fair enough, though while we're at it, I'd also like to know how the site looks on a Mac.
