That's essentially why IE User-Agent strings spoof Netscape, and why everyone else, including Netscape(!) spoof IE, in the comment that contains IE's real identity. Basically what happens is that the user agent gets updated to remove a restriction, but the legacy web pages (and those cut and paste coded from them) still effectively reject it. The result is that the browser has to spoof the market leader to get round this. The original CSS concept was that unsupported properties were simply ignored, so that they would automatically start working when the browser starts supporting them. I know this makes pixel perfect designs difficult. -- David Woolley Emails are not formal business letters, whatever businesses may want. RFC1855 says there should be an address here, but, in a world of spam, that is no longer good advice, as archive address hiding may not work.
