Hello Brad,

I have Internet Explorer 5.1.7 loaded on my Quicksilver 933 tower running OS 9.2.2. I also have Internet Explorer 5.2.3 loaded on the same computer running OS X 10.3.9 on a separate partition. On both IE versions, your website shows up as a series of blue underlined hyperlinks, rather than the “correct“ website, as can be seen when I view it with Safari. As far as I can tell, I have all the necessary options (Scripting, pictures, JavaScript etc.) turned on.

Thought you may wish to know.

Internet Explorer on the Mac in 9.2.2 doesn’t support CSS. However neither EITG or Digital Connect has a computer still running that OS.  The website will run correctly on these browsers:

IE 5.5, 6, 7
Opera
Safari
Flock
OmniWeb
Firefox

However, the web has moved along. It is very difficult to support old browsers while trying to support the current web standards.  We have chosen to write the web page within W3C standards http://www.w3.org/ .  This allows the site to look properly on new browsers as they become available.  I believe a growing number of sites will be following in this direction. I recommend probably using the last version of Opera or Mozilla for OS 9 when viewing our website.

That’s cool - my point in posting this was not to complain, but rather to let you know that this was the case. That’s all.

Hi Paul,

A year or so ago, I read (on the Microsoft website, I think) that Microsoft has ceased updating Internet Explorer for the Mac.  I think the last version was produced in 2003.

Sincerely,

Joe T
