Hi,

Just looking at the stats, and thought I might squeeze a question in, but obviously not quite as important as I felt iyt might be judging by the preponderence of IE users.

Pages on my site that have vaildated with HTML 4.01 Transitional come up fine in IE - I'm using 6.

I am not using CCS at this point.

In FF the color information is missing in the fonts and as background in cells.

The sizing is also more exagerated vertically, distance between <tr>s, <p>s, <h1>s, etc.

Before I brought the pages up to spec I didn't have the problem.

A suggestion was made to me that I might include a note on the page saying that it has been optimized for viewing on IE. I am considering doing that to direct people to view the site with IE.
