Re: [WSG] should I track down this problem?

[Universal Head]

That's the thing. The code is clean, it works great on ALL those browsers, but some strange quirk of Mac OS9 IE5 only stuffs things up. The only way I can see to solve the problem is trial and error, and considering I don't have IE5 on my machine, it's a difficult and time-consuming way to track down a problem.

If anyone does have IE5 OS9 and feels like having a go, drop me a line! :)

I've just finished a simple site that is perfect in
WIN - NN 7, IE 5.01, IE 5.5, IE 6
MAC - Safari 1.2.1, Mozilla 1.4, IE 5.2

And a friend looks it in on Mac IE 5 and finds a big problem.

My question is, do you draw the line or not? Do I spend more time time trying
to track down this one dumb version number browser's problem, or do I just say
it's not worth it?

For me it would depend on what the problem is and whether there's a known
fix or workaround, keeping to standards of course! :-)

Perhaps a tweak of the design could bypass the problem (whatever it is)
entirely?
