Our application requires IE7 / FireFox 2.0. There is way to much scripting and information being processed and IE6 just cannot cut it. Seeing it is an actualy web application, and not for public use, it was a good call to make.

Silverlight is something I do want to look at. The only problem is the plugin they have to install. Some of our customers can't even download a .txt file from the internet without having an admin breathing down their shirts.

AMEN!

If it's an intranet application I'd limit the browser selection; something like "it only works with IE7 or FF2" anything else: get lost! :)

I feel your pain. Getting JS/CSS to work across browsers is always a nightmare.

You might be better off using Sliverlight or Flash :-)

You aren't testing IE 6 as well?
