RE: IE4 and CSS

[Darren Barefoot <Darren -dot- Barefoot -at- capeclear -dot- com>]

Hi,

Well, I can't actually answer your question, but you might take some solace
in the fact that use of IE 4 is down to 2 - 7% of total browser usage,
according to http://www.upsdell.com/BrowserNews/stat.htm and
http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp. Additionally, if yours
is a site aimed at business users, they're unlikely to be using such an old
browser. So, you might be able to, just, you know, eschew your problem.
Thanks.
