Hi ! i know that this is a off-topic question, but can anyone tell me is it worth making a completely new site, since the netscape does not display it the way it should look like ... What is the procentage of browser users anyway ?

<rant mode='light'> While IE is clearly the dominant browser (Anywhere from 75% to 90%, depending on whose stats you're looking at - and that includes all variations of IE, not just 5.x+), that still leaves a significant population using something else (not just Netscape, but also Opera, Mozilla, Lynx, text based readers for the blind, etc.). So you need to make a decision. Let's say you have the potential of 1000 visitors per day to your site - do you really want to alienate 100-250 (or more, if you're specifically targetting IE5+) of those users based on the browser they choose to visit with? I peronally use Mozilla, even on Windows. I'm only going to fire up IE if there's a _really_ good reason to do so (Dell's customization forms for computer quotes being one really annoying example - bad Dell :/). Unless you're positive that your content is so compelling that you'll make people switch browsers and/or operating systems, figure out how to get your message across without IE specific web design. </rant> -- _______ ___ _ ____ _____ Chris Hobbs / ____\ \ / / | | |/ ___\| __ \ Head Geek | (___ \ \ / /| | | | (___ | | | | WebMaster \___ \ \ \/ / | | | |\___ \| | | | PostMaster ____) | \ / | |__| |____) | |__| | \____/ \/ \____/ \____/|_____/ http://www.silvervalley.k12.ca.us chobbs@silvervalley.k12.ca.us
