One of the main (only?) arguments for supporting IE6, is to provide a somewhat decent experience for corporate users who dont have the luxury of upgrading the browser. The argument against the upgrade is that corporate web-tools will fail after the upgrade; then using an argument that those tools cant be rewritten as the company doesn't have coders on staff. This argument is circular, either a) the company has the coders available to create the IE6-specific tool and thus can upgrade the tool to use a later version of the browser, or b) they dont have coders and thus they couldn't have developed the IE6-specific product. My $0.02... dont stress about backwards compatibility for IE6... it the site needs IE6 support, do that work last - you can then at least get paid for it. cheers, Mathew Robertson ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [email protected] *******************************************************************
