For what it's worth, if a user is browsing on OS9's IE, then they have little choice--Firefox, Safari, etc. are all only available on OSX. So to suggest that someone upgrades from Mac IE5 is to suggest they go out and shell out a cool grand for a new machine that runs a new OS. So maybe go a bit easier on those (not so many) few...
As for the bug, Kim I too cannot see any evidence of it. I'm viewing it on Mac IE 5.1.5, OS 9.1. Could you post a screenshot of what you're seeing? HTH, John While you're correct in noting that IE on OS9 has been "ditched", poor OS9 users have little recourse: Safari, Firefox, the whole lot are only available on OSX. So it isn't simply a matter of upgrading their browser; it's about upgrading their OS. Which is often a matter of upgrading their hardware... To be fair, I'm not insisting therefore that you design to IE OS9. Merely be informed of why you support it or not... Personally, I try with reasonable effort to get it to work, because I'm still on it daily on my test box. Half of my office is still on OS9, so as far as I can see it's still a prevalent browser...
