MAC Internet Explorer 5 - Problems

Hi

I submiited a site that I am currently working on http://www.learnevents.com/06/index.php to browsercam to see what it looked like when viewed by MAC's on IE 5.

Well....... it is totally screwed, the navigation is centered and the content drops below the naviagtion far too much, here is an example http://www.learnevents.com/06/6762599.jpg

I really dont know where to start, and how to fix this for MAC's, and the worse thing about it is the client uses this browser!

Any help on this would be great, as deadline is fast approaching.

Thanks

IE 5 Mac is no longer being developed and is not even available for download from Microsoft anymore. I wouldn't worry about it.

Re: MAC Internet Explorer 5 - Problems

i've been in a similar situation myself with a client. show them this URL:

http://www.microsoft.com/mac/product...ternetexplorer

and explain nicely that the browser they use has not been updated for 3 years, so should not be expected to display modern web pages properly.

they should be reasonable and accept this fact.

If they are on OS X they shouldn't be using IE anyway. Safari, Firefox, Omniweb, Opera, Flock, etc are all much better alternatives. IE 5 Mac was way ahead of its time in the 90's and still has better CSS support than IE 6 Win in most cases but it is dead, dead, dead.
