Keith,
I try to develop for IE5 and later and Netscape 6 or later. Lately, I
learned how to substitute JavaScript buttons and make them work in both.
But then I was surprised by clients using Netscape 4.77 and earlier
which doesn't support them (even though Netscape invented JavaScript).
There isn't time to worry about Opera, etc beyond trying to stick to the
standards as closely as possible.

Hi Alan.
Practically speaking, if you cover IE from version 5 up you can expect
to
satisfy about 85% of users. Another 10% if you include Netscape, but
I've
found version distribution is much more uniform than IE ( most of which
is 6 )
MS is pretty good regarding upward compatibility; if you test on 5 and
it works it will probably work on 5.5 and 6.
As for the 5% using Opera, Lynx, etc... keep fighting the good fight.

Subject: Re: CALL FOR QUESTIONS!! PIUG 2003 Annual Conference
Let me send an early one:
To what extent can vendors expect clients to keep their Internet browser
software current? Which Browsers and versions do we need to develop for
and which can we assign to the dustbin of history?
