Peter,
You've done great work so far - stick with it! I know the feeling of frustration with this sort of stuff, but believe me it does get a bit easier with each site you build. What also happens is that maintenance on these sites becomes very easy as well. Did my previous post regarding Mac IE 5 needing widths for floats and the issue that the "voice-family" hack may be hiding the widths for some floats from Mac IE 5 help at all? Also, try sending a different stylesheet to Mac IE 5: @import 'nonmac.css'; /* for everyone but mac ie 5 */ @im\port "mac.css"; /* for mac ie5 */ In the short term, if you need to get the project finished quickly, this may now be a viable option (i know it's a hack...). This way you can keep your voice family hacks within the non-mac CSS, and remove it from the Mac CSS. If you have time at a later stage, you can go back and try to minimise the amount of hacks in the non-mac CSS, so that it the CSS works cross platform. Hope this helps.
