Bev,
Thanks, some great info!
I will read up on the below as you suggest, and have forwarded this to
my other team member.
You're welcome, Kristina. ;-)
I forgot to mention that while our web site says we only build sites for
modern browsers, we also say that if they have special needs we can
accommodate them. I just wanted to clarify that.
Anyway, since we're on the subject and there may be people who are still
learning & need pointers, here are some links that may prove helpful:

I couldn't find any up-to-date charts for Macs, but MacEdition has some
older stuff: http://old.macedition.com/cb/resources/index.html

If you code anything that generates HTML emails these are good:

Dust-Me Selectors
A Firefox extension that finds unused CSS selectors - current v2.1 works
with FF v3.0, but not v3.0.1. Kindly google this one as I dislike the
creators' promotion of spec work and would rather not provide another
link to their site.
Going back into lurk mode...
Regards,
Bev
