I find that I have no trouble writing pages that display properly in all
browsers, so long as I don't try for the unobtainable 'pixel perfect'
layout, and don't use any kind of (any) browser-specific code.
I don't care if one browser has .. oh .. a three-pixel difference in a
margin somewhere. Design a flexible layout and that is not an issue.

Tell those clients to find a developer who works exclusively in ActiveX.
Be sure to mention that he might as well turn off the web server for
about two or three months every year - as that is about how much
business he will lose with an IE-only site.
What *is* it with some of these clients? If they know so much, why don't
they write their own sites? My clients came to me because they don't
know anything about designing web sites.
