Exactly my point my friend. To blame all of our problems on MS or close our webpages to browsers we do not like is more detramental to the open source community, or any business for that matter, than good. RedHat was quick to point out in an article the fact Netscape and other browsers could not open msn.com although this was an intentional move on Microsofts part I feel that not fixing an unintentional problem once it is found out is just as bad. Fact: The most widely used browser on the market today is IE, Even if this was gained through shady business practices we still as web developers must remeber this and make sure we are not doing away with over half of the possible clients on the Internet due to not wanting to cater to an "Evil Empire" as some would say. I still say this IS NOT an IE problem but a server side or for that matter a web developer problem. Simply put if your going to offer a service, especially one for a fee, over the web you should make sure it is accessable to the vast majority of users and face it folks netscape and mozilla do not have near the base IE does. Plain and simple telling someone to change browsers if a site don't work is not a solution on the Internet. Designing your site to cater to at least the major browsers is the responsibility of the web developer. _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
