I'd recommend everything below, except I'd load it all onto an Apple

much all Windows browsers. I *think* you can go one step beyond that

I realise that users will have to download acrobat. The pages cannot

Yes, I thought graphics may be an issue here. But just to clarify, PDF

Hi Nick,
I have Mac and Windows machines in front of me at all times for testing.
Browsers include:
Mac: saf1, camino.7, ie5, moz1.4, n7, nn4, op6 (7 total)
Win: ie5, ie5.5, ie6, n7, nn4, op7, moz1.4 (7 total)
I also use BrowserCam as a backup throughout most testing.
I think both options are

My first post! :o)
Conerning floats... generally, any tips about which browsers like and
dislike them?
I've got the task of (re)developing a client's site from very heavy
table use, into a validating site. Hence, I think it'll take longer to
validate and amend the tables than it would
Hi Martin!
Generally, all modern browsers apart from the IE's will render floats ok.
The best article to read to find out about IE is this:

Peter, you asked,
Do you feel the the pro's of using em's (for font sizes)
outweigh the cons?
I'm sure there'll be some much more knowledgeable people than I on this
subject, but I'll just make a couple of remarks.

Allsopp)

Do you know any contractors that are in Sydney with great html

Sorry about yet another email on this subject but I owe Taco an apology for

really sorry for this.

The reality is you can use either perecents or ems to get the same affect,
but percents seem to be the preferred option (at least below 1em):
A word of caution concerning IE. Be careful using ems. The most recent
versions of IE for Windows tend to flummox text with a font-size less than
1em

associated tabular data.. it's a user interface. What if we wanted to

no worries,
accesskey is very important for those who use a keyboard to navigate a
page - as it can allow a keystroke to give focus to the label. Grouping
form fields with the correct tags is far better than using say a table
cell which can I believe adds a bit of confusion for screen reader
