You are aware that IE6 and prior are shall we say, CSS diminished.

Will your code properly display in Firefox, Opera, Konquor, IE6 & IE7?

Since IE7 is supposed to be much more CSS compliant...

Hi,

The code displays perfectly in IE (haven't tested 7), and FireFox. We'll deal with Netscape (they use a different way to show/hide <DIV> segments than anyone else). That's the only issue.

I should say that according to our stats over the last month, Netscape users account for 0.44% of visits. IE is 67%, Firefox is 22%, 10% Safari. In contrast, about 5% of visitors to our site are on a dial-up, and we've already decided to leave them in the cold, so 0.44% Netscape users wouldn't be a problem. Checkout works fine for everyone, and no essential functions involve <DIV> show/hide tags.

I'm actually extremely happy that we put this in, it works like a charm.

Future things to do would be to (1) 100% browser compatibility, (2) get and parse rates directly in the code, rather than using the 'shippingmethods' module to do it, so you don't have to split it over two Basket pages because of Miva's auto-poll of shipping rates, and (3) save the Country/State/Zip to the basket to it's persistent (extremely easy to do).

Anyway, if anyone can use it, that's great. If not, it's free.

Best,

Per
