I am testing a web site for my company and it seems to be running pretty good on IE 4.x and 5.x for the PC. It also is also behaving itself with Netscape 4.7 on the PC and on the Mac.

BUT, when I use IE 5.0 for the Mac I get all sorts of java errors, script errors and layout problems.

I thought I turned on all of the possible error checking I could with my PC's version of IE 5.5 SP2, but I do not see any of the things the mac is catching. Am I missing some settings on my PC or is the Macversion written differently?

Bob, IE 5.1.1 that comes with OSX.1 is far superior to the IE released with OSX. I had all sorts of weird Java things happening in the first version, pretty much solved in X.1. There's a security update, however, and before you apply it, make sure you upgrade the Mac's ROM.
