I would mention one thing to you, because I think it's important. IE 5 is
known to be buggy and people have moved away from it whenever possible.
Relatively few people are still using it because of its errors. I'd recommend
making sure (at work) that your system works in IE 6, which behaves somewhat
differently than IE 5, particularly 5.5. My response may not help you at all,
but I feel duty-bound to make it in view of your using IE 5 without batting an
eye. ; )
