As far as I know it is a nightmare for the design
industry when it comes to all these BROWSERS.

I have the following browsers on various machines:
Netscape 6.2.2 / Netscape 4.79 / Internet Explorer 5 / Internet Explorer
6

We don't care about the 2% range, unless clients ask/request.

Our logs show... IE, on various Windows Platforms, AOL, and few
interesting
ones are:

Java1.3.0
InternetSeer.com <--- This guy keeps on bugging us! :) hehehe

It is a pain in the rear when developing a site to make everyone happy.
I wish I can design everything in FLASH all vector graphic and what
you see is what you get.  No matter what 800x600 and so on. Off topic
but per say when it comes to a site like the one mentioned above
as soon as you hit a site with 50 different chops and slices the 1st
thing
that comes into mind is Fireworks, or ImageReady.

Like this one, I have to take it down (www.diamantelaw.com) and re-do
the
code or change things around.  Looks fine in IE but Netscape doesn't
like it
For a 600$ site that is too much work and if it was done in Flash we can
have
it done in 2 days.  Netscape has issues.  Why did they re-invent the
wheel
earlier when they released the 6 or whichever I don't know.
Actually you are very wrong. Netscape is following the standard. Microsoft is not and is trying to force theirs into being the standard. Most developers today develop for IE even though it does not follow the industry set standard. I use NetObject Fusion and optimize for Netscape 4 and IE 4. Works pretty good most of the time. 


On my Cobalt RAQ even though speed is a T1 and get some hits and now I
am
trying to setup e-commerce sites for less than $1K, entire site. Using
AgoraCGI.  It uses FedEx, USPS api/ dll via http and I am worrying that
I will get time-outs like I have been here and there.. in test mode.

I like the RedHat Interchange but too much admin and like the Cobalt for

built in Cpanel.. I haven't checked out phpStore yet... or any other
free open code shopping carts.

Get 55 sites using the shopping carts and I think Cobalt Raq 4 will
fold.
Maybe add 25 sites that will use Ikonboard with mySQL for forums or get
some others that will install some Forums like Yabb using flat file db
or who knows...
