I feel your pain. I've given up supporting NN 4.x as long as the site degrades gracefully enough that it can still be used even if it means 2 stylesheets. One for NN 4.x limited to CSS 1 format info and another for everyone else. I've even used that method to hide things from NN that would cause it to choke, usually positioning. That's the closest to using hacks I go then NN 4.x users get a basic page that they can use and I don't waste bandwidth trying to get everything to look exactly the same.
Nice thing about using the standards and validating against them means that future browsers will honor and display the tags valid in the listed doctype. Which is why using a doctype is important. That way if something is depreciated in later versions (aka target="") if you reference a doctype where it is valid it will still work. Cheryl D.

A heck of a lot of stuff that works in NN4.7 doesn't work in NN6 or 7, and I've gathered that some stuff that works in IE<6 doesn't work in 6 (although I've not confirmed that). ____ � The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM � ____ To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Send Your Posts To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To set a personal password send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the words: "set WDVLTALK pw=yourpassword" in the body of the email.
