> already! People *know* that sites always look better on the latest > browsers--they don't need to be told. *sigh* Uh - I don't. I know the author thinks they look better, but that doesn't mean I agree. As one counterexample, I find pages that use frames look better in the pre-real-frame support browser I run (which gives me links to the framed pages) than in the with-real-frame support version of the same browser. This is sufficiently bad that I sometimes find myself opening links in new windows out of habit in netscape after having dealt with framed sites for a bit. Likewise, there's a very large number of sites with absolutely ATROCIOUS color choices. I typically disable author colors a day or so after installing a new browser, because I run into something like light yellow text on white background. The latest version of netscape doesn't let me do that, so those I think those pages generally look better in an older netscape - when it's properly configured. Hmm - maybe that should be "I know the author thinks they look better using their config of their browser, but I may not agree, and they may not agree if they could see those same pages on MY config of the their browser". <mike
