i designed the site using dreamweaver and when i checked it using ie7, it showed up good... also on firefox... but when i checked it using ie5, the site is not showing up properly. also, when i changed the links, the browser doesn't open up the new links, it still opens the old one. why is that?

A lot of times, sites that work properly in IE 6 or IE 7 wont work properly due to differences between the browsers and what they can support.

Very few users are using IE 5 these days.

Generally for my sites I check in IE 6, IE 7, Firefox, AOL

I was reading an article this morning, and it was talking about how a lot of business users are still using IE 5 on intranets, as their internal pages havent been updated to work with new browser versions, and as more and more of these intranets are given access out the internet for email and research, theres been an increase in users using IE 5.

These guys cant update their IE usually because the intranet sites quit working correctly.

Kinda depressing.
