I think it's better to start developing on a browser that is strict, like netscape navigator. And after that, test the code on ie. IE allows for much more little errors, like not closing tables, etc, etc, whereas netscape doesn't. When it comes to layers, the browser differences really become evident, which is why people are finding external objects like flash movies better. This isn't very good, because if people are moving away from using html to do the work, then obviously the browsers aren't doing their jobs well enough. I'd like to see two browsers made by two different manufacturers producing the same output from the _same_ code... A pipe dream? I wonder ...? imho. dan
