You just won a new reader Meryl!</p> <p>There is another option for browser testing different IE versions. The cost is about the same as an OS but it might be worth it: VMware. At work we have two machines using it. Our help desk has a machine with about 4 versions of Windows on it and it comes in handy several times a week - at least. My machine only has Win2K but keeps separate VMs for IE4, IE5, IE5.5 and IE6, along with NS4, NS6 and Opera. As I'm developing/upgrading various extranets to handle more CSS, this has come in very handy. A single user (or is it CPU?) license is just under US$300, but the felzability it affords can't be beat. This is one of the slickest utilities I've seen in years.</p> Wow… 30 seconds into checking things out for the first time and I find out how to keep my IE6 status bar on!

According to the W3C spec, IE6 is behaving exactly as it should. I blame Netscape, myself.</p> And the text centering issue is due to sloppy coding.
