I share your sentiment.  Another IE issue: I use a transparent png for
my image/title at the top left.  That doesn't render properly in IE 5.x
cause it doesn't understand transparent PNGs.

I found a javascript snippet that does some sort of magic to fix that
for IE.  Is there any interest in incorporating that into phpwiki?  It's
useful anywhere you want to use transparent pngs in themes.  It does
bloat every page somewhat, but the javascript is only executed when the
correct version of IE is detected, so the effect on other browsers in
minimal.

It's the usual problem of how far do you go to support different
browsers.

Thanks for the tip on how to fix this, I will tweak the layout to see if
I can come up with something that works on IE and other browsers.

Huh.  Wonder if it's a problem with Firefox on the mac only?  I will
test Firefox and Konqueror on Linux tomorrow and report.
