I almost just titled this entry "Arrgh!". I just finished the alpha version of my extensively revised and expanded Web site and decided that I had best test it on a couple of other browsers. You see, I had developed it with the extensive use of CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) and Safari (Apple's implementation of the KHTML KDE Open Source code). It really looks lovely (if I do say so myself) with Safari on my TiBook.
Unfortunately, Explorer 5.5 doesn't seem to do CSS quite right and so I've got to do some mods before I can launch the site. I've accepted that only 2-3% of the marketplace uses Macs/Safari so I have no choice but to do the additional work. Somehow I had naively assumed that Safari and IE 5.5 and Firebird would have reached some sort of common point of development/type display. Not so. So "Aaaaaarghhhhh!" My Web site will be delayed a day or two until I manage to munge the code.
But it will look nice when its done.
