Hi,
I've just recently gone up a cog from ie5 to ie6 - I like it - it handles pretty much any silly code I try to get away with. I do, however, continue to use Netscape 4.78 to check compatibility - as you say, tthurgo - if it works in 4.78, it'll work in anything - unfortunately, not much of my code works in 4.78. This used to concern me at first, but now I figure, what the heck - I'm running a non-commercial site, my stats tell me that 99% of my visitors are using IE5 or 6 on Windows XP or 2000 with at least 800x600. My teacher would hate this, but I reckon if you're gonna use the web - you gotta keep up - browser updates are free, plug-ins (like quicktime, flash, etc) are free - the software developers aren't doing what they do as a hobby - eventually, all browsers will handle/must handle code similarly (my code works the same in Netscape 6 as it does in IE6) - the w3 consortium is busting its back to get conformity in order to nurture and encourage the usage and advancement of the Web - users have a responsibility to keep their browsers up to date in order to support Web development. The day approaches when I'll stop checking my work in 4.78
