          Yes. Your Explorer is way too old. I doubt I'll make anything that's compatible with anything older than IE9 from now on. It's just too much work.

              How are you even able to navigate websites with such an old browser?

                +1

                lot of work(forIE7). CSS sheet grows large!

                OT:
                I'm trying to make IE8 compatible dialog, but when reading this I might jump up one step.
                You are still sticking to CSS2? I havent dared touching any CSS3 stuff yet,
                but some are available to IE9 by the looks of it.

                Plugin looks handy BTW πŸ˜„ πŸ‘

                    I'm using some CSS3 features. Gradients, rounded corners and other things. But generally the more stable CSS3 features. I have a plugin in the works, which will require IE10 - it allows you to install plugins by dragging files into a webdialog window.

                    IE has lost a lot of users - and Microsofts automatic updates are starting to make it's effect as well as they try hard to push users to keep IE up to date. I would only concern myself about anything older than IE9 if I really had a good reason - like if I made a commercial plugin where a significant amount of users has older systems.

                      Gotcha. Well, I hope you one day can upgrade. Because there really isn't much I can do with IE6. But XP supports older IE versions than IE6, why not just let it update?
                      It's 11 years old - time to let it die. Even Microsofts wants it gone: http://www.ie6countdown.com/

                        Thanks for the info.
                        I will have to rethink about my css support then. I think your philosophy is sound.

                        And yeah! I had IE8 on my computer. And overnight "Badabing!" it became IE9.
                        Just like that πŸ˜„

                        Sorry sorry, back to the plugin discussion.

                          BUT is the 'font-name' you pass from your tool the exact same name as the MAC reports?
                          Or is that font perhaps in a fold-folder that Sketchup doesn't look-in, but your script does ?
                          E.g. some user or xfonts thing ?

                                  It doesn't bother me that much. πŸ˜„

                                  It may cause crashes later. I haven't used it that much.

                                          Thomas, I played with it a little more on my Mac and the only thing I can find is the close button doesn't do anything. No biggie for me. I'm flexible and can close it with the X button at the top left.
