PC vs Mac

[John Green]

Does anyone know the ratio of users PC:Mac especially home
users. I have complaints from Mac users on FrontPage web
sites and I want to know if it's worth catering for Mac to
a greater or lesser extent.

A lot of this is going to vary on the content and intended
audience. Current as of this email is 0.34% Mac on my site-

DI-
Different sites are going to have different stats. The best
thing one could do to find out there particular sites
statistics and that of similiar sites. Then they could
determine what they should design for.

Does anyone know how to create html pages in FP that will be compatible with Macintosh and other browsers?

 

[Thomas A. Rowe]

Yes, just have test your pages and don't use features that don't work. It is
not so much the Mac, as it is the browsers available for Mac users. Absolute
Positioning is a known issue under both Mac and Windows, depending on the
browser.
