according to Bart, Decision One only supports 1.5 and up.

I think Dawn meant what browsers we want the website to work on, not what
browsers we're providing support for.

Comment 3

[Robert Accettura [:raccettura]]

FWIW, I haven't had an issue with Mozilla, Safari, or IE6/windows.

I'll try to do a more intensive look at the new layout later if I can. in IE
5/Mac and Safari.

Opera 7.03/WinXP:
home page = OK
license page = OK
Mozilla roadmap = OK
Firebird roadmap = top menu shorter + doesn't underline its links on FB
developer pages
Thunderbird roadmap = OK
product pages = OK
download pages = OK

Opera 7.23/WinXP:
home page = OK
license page = OK
Mozilla roadmap = OK
Firebird roadmap = top menu shorter + doesn't underline its links on FB
developer pages
Thunderbird roadmap = OK
product pages = OK
download pages = OK

MSIE 6/WinXP:
home page = OK
license page = OK
Mozilla roadmap = OK
Firebird roadmap = top menu shorter + doesn't underline its links on FB
developer pages
Thunderbird roadmap = OK
product pages = OK
download pages = OK

Note the FB developer pages that don't look right in Opera or IE work fine in
Mozilla v1.5/WinXP.

You can test how sites will appear in Safari using the iCapture service. It
works quite well but because it gives you a screenshot you only see the top part
of the page. http://www.danvine.com/icapture/
