cosmetic changes + color selector

noisywalrus,

No the sliders do not show up on my Mac. Thanks for thinking of us "apples" in this ever increasing orange world. ^_~

I hope you can make something work out.

Here's the deal, and you're not gonna like it one bit. =/ I have absolutely no way to provide equal functionality to Macs in a reasonable time frame. There is one workaround I thought of, but it involves redoing the whole thing and I'm not even sure it would work when I'm done -- since I have nothing to test on. It's literally flying blind.

From what I've read, there's a specific HTML (more specifically, style sheet) thing I used that isn't supported in Mac IE5.

I'm not entirely sure, but a better choice -- until I get a spare Mac -- might be to give Safari a try:

Also, the browser based on the Gecko/Mozilla project may also be a good choice (again, I haven't tried any of these):

I have *zero* idea how useful these products would be in relation to this site. But I do know they are free, and free means if you have some extra time, you might want to give them a try.

As for me, I'm going to go hit eBay and see how many organs I must sacrifice to purchase an old, beatup Mac. Don't worry, it's not just this, it's been sitting on my wishlist for a long time.

Does anyone know what the cutoff is for how ancient a mac can be to run osx and ie5?

Hmmm, it may be back to the drawing board for the color picker tool. Apparently, it *only* seems to work in IE 6 for Windows and nothing else. Ouch.

I think I have an idea on how to change it......

Question: Can you Mac folks see and use the color sliders on this page now? Also, for everyone else, it didn't break for you did it?

Let me know, I'd be a very happy person if this worked.

As your Mac guinea pig...I can tell you the slider bars show-up, but they don't do any color changes. The numbers that follow the three color bars show 00 and 00 when the slider is moved. The color picker is still a no go too.
