Re: [Dynapi-Dev] Netscape 6.0 Layers Not Painting Unless I Hit Refresh + Mac IE 5. 0 (hopeless ?)

[Raymond S. <dst...@or...>]

I tried "allot" of things on good ole Mac IE5.  Anything "rich in DHTML
blood" tends to knock the knees out from under it.  Most bugs breed like a
festering desease from its inability to deliver correct Width and Height in
content that it set based on determining this at load time (scrollpane,
pushpanel,etc).

I've pretty much abandoned trying support this obviously satanic browser.  I
tell my clients to use NS on Mac and watch the horizon for IE6 and "hope".
Or sniff the arrival of the vile thing and deliver a Jacob Nielson "type" of
experience.

At one point I even took Pascal "my mother tatooed binary digits on my ass"
Bestebroer's noteworthy advise and pelleted my newly acquired Macintosh with
large "rocks".  While this did cause some "significant" events to transpire
I won't truely know the result til I get the machine back from the repair
shop.

Hope this helped.

Ray
