I've been asked to write a website that MUST work in Netscape 4.03 and IE 3 for Windows 3.1. When you've stopped laughing I'm afraid I have to say I'm serious, and there's no chance at all that the people connecting to the site will upgrade.
I'm quite curious about this - do you genuinely have a client with a large user base on archaic machines, or is this a "whim of the CEO who won't upgrade" scenario? Anyway, the next question is does it need to work as in "be functional" or does it have to work as in "look the same"? If it just needs to be functional, use import filters and give raw content to the old browsers. But I'm guessing this isn't an option or you probably wouldn't be asking :)
So, any tips to do this without reverting all the way back to 1996 tables and spacer gifs? Or am I doomed to non-standards hell?
From memory NN4 could handle some basic CSS but I wouldn't attempt to
do a modern float or fixed layout with it. Your best bet is probably to use a CSS/table hybrid - use the table to set columns etc then CSS for colours, etc. IE3... sorry I simply can't recall. It's probably a little less capable than NN4.
Cheers, and wish me luck.
Good luck, and charge appropriately - meaning charge extra ;) -Ben -- --- <http://weblog.200ok.com.au/> --- The future has arrived; it's just not --- evenly distributed. - William Gibson ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *******************************************************************
