compatible with Mozilla

How big of a deal is it to make a developed IE site compatible with Mozilla.
On the site outside of the normal things we have an online editor and a key stroke which we use to hide and display text (numbers) in a column.

Hi

Make your site standard compliant. Is enough to Mozilla.

On the site outside of the normal things we have an online editor and a key stroke which we use to hide and display text (numbers) in a column.

Sounds like a JavaScript based thing. No idea without seeing that code. Give us the URL if is available.

vze,

how important is it for you to have customer/user retention? if i visit a site using my default browser (firefox) and it doesn't work, i will not open IE just to visit the site (unless money is waved in front of me).

so, MY answer to your question is: extremely important.

anything you do with javascript can be done on a wide variety of browsers (as long as the users have javascript enabled). you just may need to optimiz(s)e your code.

If your pages have a valid DOCTYPE, they should operate more or less equally in all newer browsers.

If your pages do not have a valid DOCTYPE then that's your biggest problem. You need to fix that first. Chances are that if you add a valid DOCTYPE, your pages will break even in IE. If you fix all the problems that surface when you add the missing the DOCTYPE, your pages should render correctly in all browsers.

A list of recommended DOCTYPEs can be found at
