moreso than win/ie6 and win/nn6?  that's the two browsers developed and
tested on here without hassle (except for the usual annoying lack of
documentation available for nn6 dhtml objects, properties, and methods).

no, tried without a doctype and with a different doctype.  got the same
result each time.

wish i could.  the company that hosts the site is pretty unresponsive when
it comes to dns changes.  since the hosts file has been around longer than
dns itself i figured why not.
