Már ÖrlygssonHoping for a CSS bug in IE 5.0/Win
First: Check this out and then come back here.
Internet Explorer 5.0 on Windows and IE 5.x on Macintosh are causing me some grief when it comes to CSS support. These two browsers combined seem to be used by as much ss 15% of Icelandic internet users.
Mac Edition has an excellent list of CSS Bugs in IE5.x Mac. One particular bug, the so called whitespace parsing bug (or "the substring bug") has caused much wreck in my CSS designs so far (I use multiple class names all the time), but I've found a way to turn that bug to my advantage.
(Hint: I now use nonsense CSS selectors such as.menu-ie5mac { code that fixes the problem } to trick IE5/Mac to apply rules that all other browsers ignore.)
Now I'm hoping that the same (or similar) bug might exist in IE 5.0 on Windows, so I could use a similar hack to fix broken things in that browser as well.
If you have IE 5.0 (not 5.5), please check out my test-case page and come back here and report if there are any red lines in that list, apart from the first line (#0). Use the comments below to tell me exactly which version of Internet Explorer you're using, and which line numbers are red.

My version is 5.00(.2920.0000. Supposedly, only the first digits matter at all;))
Only line "0" was red, the other were black.

Hey,
Nice css layout here! Like the fixed background.
Here's a simple way to use multiple classes in mac IE:
Basically, you just use a different tag selector. It's easy; just another annoying thing to remember (though I sometimes forget about it).
