    To anyone with some insights,

    Our company web site contains pages that do not load and display the text
    under IE 5 (MacOS 9.2) yet they will display with Netscape 4.7. They will
    display with IE 5 for windows.

    Our Webmaster gives the explanation that "some of our site has not been
    converted for Macs." And that this is a time consuming process. As if
    developing web content to include the Mac is "additional"

    Wait a minute..... I thought web pages were constructed with all platforms
    in mind, based on universally acccepted standards for html and Java etc.
    Is there such a thing as additional requirements for web pages in order for
    Apple MRJ to read them??

    So my question is - Are web site develpment Applications creating sites that
    are only operable on Wintel machines? Or, only Netscape, or only IE? And,
    does that require additional development for those sites to be multi
    platform, based on commonly accepted standards, as I thought the internet
    was intended to be. Moreover, is our webmaster telling it like it is?

    All comments are welcome. You can link to the site via my signature.
