<<But you have to agree that at the moment, the state of IE5 and IE6 is bad...>>   I'm not sure I do really. I have copies of IE5, 5.5, and 6.0 on my PC for development purposes. I find that (within reason) I am able to create cross-browser layouts and designs without much difficulty. It is true that there are times when I must resort to the odd hack or two, but I keep that down to a minimum. IE5.x is a pain, but IE6 is actually pretty darn good for an old timer.   The thought of Firefox (my browser of choice) having a dominant market share is somewhat unsettling at the moment, because it is still very much in development. I'll be much happier with that concept once it has had it's 1.0 "stable" release.   It is worth noting, by the way, that the excellent work of Dean Edwards* may alleviate your IE5.5/6.0 problems. IE5 support is coming soon.   * http://www.dean.edwards.name/IE7/   Simon Jessey ---------------------------------- mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] web : http://jessey.net/blog/ work: http://keystonewebsites.com/       ----- Original Message ----- From: Chris Stratford Subject: Re: [WSG] CSS: writing-mode / MS runs W3C? Wow Flamed :) When I said the worst browser. At the moment, in my eyes - IE is the worst thing to happen to webdevelopment. Imagine if FireFox had the margin share... I know IE started a revolution and the browser wars... and it won... I admit - I use IE a lot more than anyother brower. But thats only because 80% of my most frequented websites dont load as expected in FireFox or Netscape... But you have to agree that at the moment, the state of IE5 and IE6 is bad... IE5 doesnt load CSS half as well as you would hope... IE6 is laden with bugs that have plagued webdevs, and forced hacks and work arounds for the last few years! I wish IE would either upgrade... or get out of the majority of marketshare...
