Yahoo! has a good chart for browser support here: http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/articles/gbs/ This is not so much which browsers they support, but more which they test against and *guarantee* support for. So a Yahoo! site mike also work with IE 5.0, but they won't lose sleep if it doesn't. I think it's safe to say that if your client wants to guarantee support for an older browser not in this chart, then you should charge extra. -- -- Christian Montoya mappdev.com :: christianmontoya.net ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [email protected] *******************************************************************
