Re: ie 5.5 and ie 6 display problems

I wouldn't bother with ie 5.5, as it only has 1% of users worldwide:

I wish we didn't have to bother with ie6 either, but hey, we will get there one day

Re: ie 5.5 and ie 6 display problems

Yeah IE5.5 is too much trouble for such little gain, at some point that 1% will be forced to upgrade!

Re: ie 5.5 and ie 6 display problems

In the last few months I have had no reports of IE5 or 5.5 accessing any of my sites.
IE6 is down to less than 3% in the US and Europe.

Re: ie 5.5 and ie 6 display problems

thats for beginning of may 08, so thats a bit of a bugger cos it means i actually do have an audience of crappy web browser users lol. i ve looked on a number of other scripts and they use javascript to get around it, is there not a css fix?

Re: ie 5.5 and ie 6 display problems

Both scripts are from cssplay.
I have found Stu Nicholls very cooperative. I suggest you drop him a line and ask.
