ok, one more time...you DON'T design a website around a browser, you design it around WEB STANDARDS. ding ding ding ding ding! the size of the company is irrelevant. the percentage of visitors who use browser X is irrelevant. standards exist for a reason, and if you make a deliberate decision to ignore them, then you get you deserve. until your company recognizes this, you will never have me as a client, nor will i ever recommend you to anyone else. jason -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/ TriLUG PGP Keyring : http://trilug.org/~chrish/trilug.asc
