position:relative why differences in browsers?

is that theory one you adopted because you believe it or because you don't want to have to deal with ie6/7 problems? i don't understand when you say uk based custom so not bothered by them?

It's a gambling site, so my assumption is that most ie6 users will be those companies which haven't upgraded, in which case my site will be blocked anyway.

I will have to cater for ie6/7 if you lot tell me loads still use it on their home computers. I personally don't know anyone who uses ie6/7 outside of work.
 
Depends on you and who you're building for.

I personally like to believe I don't build for IE6, but I always check it just in case it's horrific. :P Even Google dropped support for IE6.

IE7 I do, just.

You're building it first then moving it into wordpress right? Not building straight in to wordpress..?

I'm essentially merely creating custom pages which I will merge into wordpress.

All I do is tell wordpress to overide it's default theme and use my custom page instead, with it's associated style sheet.

How would I go about supporting ie6/7? ie7 is a blank screen atm lol

Yeh, I'm building it in dreamweaver then uploading it.

EDIT: ie7 may actually work I don't know, the program Jester suggested crashes when opening an ie7 tab.

Maybe I best install my XP disk in virtualbox. How would I get seperate installs of ie6, ie7 and ie 8?

This month's usage stats. These are the most reliable stats I know of. A lot of people refer to w3cschools, but they are taken from their own site. And considering most visitors to their site will be developing in some capacity it is likely they have adopted FireFox or Chrome to develop in.

I'll let you decide whether 26% of users is too much to cut out...

As for VMs, I use http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/

And their free VHDs. http://www.microsoft.com/DOWNLOADS/...90-958F-4B64-B5F1-73D0A413C8EF&displaylang=en
 
That does seem a lot. I assume these are global stats?

I would be shocked if 26% of the UK still used ie6/7...

How would I go about doing a separate style sheet for ie6/7?
 
It's getting better but you've got to remember large corporate environments are slow to upgrade and there will be thousands of stations out there with windows installs on where IE6/7 was the only default option.

As for separate stylesheets, Google will easily help you there.
