The following sites that I use frequently still have problems that I thought
would have been solved from the beta version:

http://www.commonsenseadvisory.com - there is a series of buttons next to
the company logo that simply don't appear (the logo is cut in half
horizontally).

http://oglobo.globo.com/online/default.asp - The advertising pane below the
tabs is not in the right place. It is offset to the right and cut in half
vertically.

Any plans to repair this? I was hoping the final release would have
addressed this problem.

The webmasters of the sites are the ones who will have to address the
problem by bringing their websites to different standards to comply with the
browser.

It's should not be the web developers who should be forced t write weeks of
css code for each browser. Microsoft should be force to follow the standards
of w3.org, which they do not.

Due to all the hard work and stress, loss of income, ect..  put on the web
developers becuase of IE non-compliance, a major lawsuit should be started to
gain back losses.

Hi Becky,

Can you name a browser (and version) which is fully W3C CSS 2.1 compliant. I
have tested them all with the CSS 2.1 test suite and the IE test sutie, none
pass 100% of the tests.

Tip: apportion your development efforts in proportion to the browser usage
of your target market (see thecounter.com). KISS and expect the SDLC to be
an on-going process as your target market and web standards change. Charge
your clients for your time, not by fixed estimates that leave you short
changed.

Boiler plate templates will save you heaps of development time.

Regards.

Try changing the user agent string to IE6 & see if the site looks better
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=9517DB9C-3C0D-47FE-BD04
-FAD82A9AAC9F&displaylang=en


If so, that simply confirms that the site has been specially coded for IE6 &
needs to be revised.

I tried the user agent string and nothing changed. It's like a part of the
site is ignored. A whole row of buttons disappears.
Any other suggestions? What should I tell the web designer to change in my
site (www.commonsenseadvisory.com)?
Thanks for any help.

A good place to start would be to fix the validation errors:
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.commonsenseadvisory.com
http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.commonsenseadv
