That usually does the trick for me. Nose Lex,

Try turning off the right generator and cycling the power on UHF #2. That usually does the trick for me.

A lot of us are using IE 6 because the PC support group has gotten burned far too many times to jump a version of Microsoft software just because Microsoft says so.

I thought you were keepind this blog on a MAC. This shows you just how dumb this vet really is, at this point in his life. After going to the "Onyx/Parameters/Safari/ Enable Debug Menu" and adjust that setting. Now when you open "Safari/Debug" , then go to "User Agent". It is third from the bottom. Have a GREAT WEEK!- Grumpy Lex,

Using "Onyx", go to "Parameters", then go to "Safari", check "Enable Debug Menu". Close "Onyx". Open "Safari". Now go to the "Title Bar" with the "Blue Apple", then go the far right hand side, you'll see "Debug", start at the bottom and you see a place to adjust what format fou want to work with "Safari". Lex, I hope that gives these people an answer. One last thing, THANK YOU!! Grumpy Lex,

One is to use any of several CSS tricks that let you insert IE-only CSS rules into your stylesheet. One such is described on <a href="http://webdesign.about.com/od/internetexplorer/a/aa082906.htm" rel="nofollow"> this page</a>. However, another thing I've learned is that it's probably not a good idea to spend too much time trying to get your site working perfectly in older versions of MSIE. If it was me (and actually it is, since I'm revising my own website with CSS and running into some minor IE compatibility problems), I'd do this: 1) don't worry about IE5, it's obsolete and very few people still use it anymore. 2) be concerned about IE6, but don't lose sleep over it, as it's being steadily replaced by IE7 which is much more standards-compliant. 3) put a note somewhere on your site that says basically "if you're looking at this in IE6 or older and having trouble, go get Firefox." With a link. Firefox is free, it's easy to use, it's more secure than MSIE, and it's standards-compliant. They win by getting a better browser, you win by not losing sleep over your template. Who could ask for anything more? :-) I’m only a beginner at website design, but this IE-and-CSS problem is so widespread (thanks a lump, Microslut!) that I’ve already been given some tips on how to deal with it.
