Netscape 6 was based on a beta version of the Mozilla rendering engine - I forget which one exactly, but pre 1.0 - and for this reason it's hard to support. Considering that Netscape is up to version 8 now, I would not include this browser in my "support profile" (thanks to Eric Meyer's WE05 presentation for introducing me to this term!). I can't comment on Konqueror - I don't test in that browser, and the market share of Linux in general in my own web site stats is next to nil. I like the design, by the way - very tasty! I especially like the favicon - nice touch. -- Kay Smoljak http://kay.zombiecoder.com/ ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
