IE <div> vs NS <layer> (getting crazy over here!!!)
http://www.clickmedios.com/_left.asp
The above mentioned page works perfectly with IE 6.
But it doesn't uner NS 6.
I would really appreciete if someone could:
- Give me an URL comparing and describing IE <div> tag and NS <layer> tags?
- Is there any Mac Browser simulator to test how the website will look like for Mac users?
- And for last, but not least important, does any one knwos an url documenting how to make the layer "static", I mean if the user scrolls down the layer will be always seen at the same place.
Thanx all in advance.

yes, and michel's point is quite relevant right now because in a bizarre turn, IE 4 is even less common than NS4.x or NS6(due to fact that each new Windows carries the new IE and also IE suggests updating automatically when a new version comes out). So you could actually consider dropping IE 4 support.
That suggestion would have been crazy a year ago, but as I said, the stats (www.counter.com - a leading internet stats collator) say it's acceptable. Netscape 4.x and Netscape 6 have more users now than IE4.

It's a bit technical, but has all the methods etc.
Maybe www.javascriptkit.com could help.
Regarding the layers in NS 4.x, divs which are absolutely positioned are regarded as layers.
