[thelist] Has anyone worked with dual IE versions?

[Candace Maynard]

Hi Ari--

On the screen, things cutting off has something do with the way
stylesheets are implemented in the different browsers.  Block level
elements like <div> and <table> interact with each other differently in
different versions of IE.  You can look this up on the web under
stylesheets and browser versions.  If I can find the link I'll send it
to you.  Anyway, on paper, I couldn't tell you if the same is true.

Different browsers: this isn't a problem doing this on a Mac, but on a
PC it's going to be tougher because the browser is built into the
operating system.  How I have done it:
subdivide your hard drive and install the newest browser on one
partition only.  You will need to keep the operating systems separate.
If someone else can offer an easier solution, you should take it,
because this really isn't my forte.  Being forced to do it has just
given me some experience.

Hope this helps.

:)
Candace

Hi all...

It appears I am having a problem printing pages on our website,
where if someone has IE5.5, it gets cut off on either the side or the
bottom.
But with IE5.0, it prints fine.

Therefore, since I have IE5.5 installed on my workstation, is it a
simple
matter
to also install IE5.0, or does that cause conflicts? I recall seeing a
Microsoft
workaround at one point, but don't know if it is reliable. I am running
Win98SE.

Thanks,
Ari

P.S. I will also add a tip:
<tip category="Web Hosting">When searching for a web hosting company,
be sure that it includes an online interface or control panel which
allows
you much customization. If it allows you to create and dump databases at
will
without the need to call their support number, all the more power to
you!</tip>
