See my thread the other day.... I tried this and it works fine.

#box
{
float : none <- style for every browser
/* hack for IE5 mac \*/
float : left <- for every browser bar IE5 mac (allows hiding styles from IE5 Mac)
/* end hack */
}


So I guess you could do that around your whole stylesheet and hide it from IE5 Mac altogether.

For OSX users they have Safari so an upgrade path is there. For OS 8 and 9 no upgrade path, but Mozilla 1.2.1 and Netscape 7.02 are both available as an alternative to promote.

I pursued the bug because of the upgrade path issue. If their was a modern compliant browser for OS8 and 9 I wouldn't have bothered with the hacks and just sent a link to Safari back to the user.

Cheers

Curious how others would approach this?

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?

Whatddya think?
