See http://www.w3.org Having just put together my first real webpage (still pretty basic) let me tell you (I'm sure you know) its a royal PITA. I've had to make an extra stylesheet just for stupid IE and then put a check for IE in the headers. Thankfully it was pretty simple and I end up with a page that renders "okay" in IE and looks great in everything else. I told my "customer" (heh, step-mother) that if it got any more complicated that I wasn't going to support IE and we'd just put up a redirect to mozilla. She doesn't understand but, what can you do. I'm not going to go down that road. A
