Hi all
The suggestions all worked, didn't affect other browsers. For future reference if anyone is interested in supporting this agent:
*used the \*/ hack - very good although it bloats the CSS
*added some fixed widths on floats
*killed text-align : inherit and letter-spacing : -0.1px in the same {} stanza which was crashing IE5 on Mac.
Some funny things still happen with this magnificent piece of software:
*tabbing through the login fields causes two characters to appear when one is typed but only when the <label> surrounds the <input></label>, Tab twice and everything is ok. Click in the fields and everything is ok. Doesn't happen with anything else so it's not my code :D
*It attempts to render the tfoot tag directly below the thead even though this should occur below tbody. Have hacked HTML to stop this resulting in non valid markup :(
*header background colours stretch out of the containing box width. Have hidden this from IE5 Mac.
Site is at http://my.spamtrap.net.au/ - minor markup furphy in the login form stopping validation but that is fixed for next version already. feedback welcome (off list if it strays from the topic).
Cheers James

*****************************************************Hi
Thanks everyone for the tips, I'll try them out and report back.
If at the end of the day the solutions don't work I'll happily hide the stylesheets from it.. this browser is in the same basket as NN4 - not being updated anymore and population decreasing. At least then the content will be usable for those visitors.
That said, I *will* try, as it is the only useful browser for OS8 - 9, apart from Mozilla 1.0x from 2002.
thanks again
James
