I would be interested to hear suggestions on methods for improving
display across platformss / browsers
- IE Mac - OS9
- IE Mac - OSX
- other OS X broswers (I think everything works fine)
Mac IE is the only Mac browser you need to hack if you are concerned
about audiences greater than 0.5% of the market. (It's just now
falling below 1% on some of my sites.) If you are concerned about
less than that, consider Netscape 4 hacks on OS 9 (about 0.2% on some
sites), but IMO it's better to deliver them a style-less site. Modern
Safari is hack-free, but older versions for OS 10.1 and 10.2 (about
20% of the Mac market) need help with min-height. For that, you might
consider this:

I was thinking of using an overriding style sheet for IE Mac using
the following hack
/* IE5/Mac Only Styles Uses the IE5/Mac Band Pass Filter: http://
stopdesign.com/examples/ie5mac-bpf/
----------------------------------------------- */ /*\*//*/ @import
url("ie5mac.css"); /**/ what are the groups thoughts on this hack?
does it work? is there a better way?
It works. There is no better way, and it keeps your main sheet clean.
It's a good thing because it's valid, and the browser is dead so it
won't change its interpretation of it, and it's a parsing bug that is
unlikely to crop up in other, newer browsers.
