I'm wondering whether I should bother actively supporting ie5? It seems like it'll be a hell of a lot of work to get a pure CSS layout to display correctly, for less than 5% of a potential viewing audience... I was thinking of just displaying an "upgrade your browser" message, but I don't want to piss off my client too badly. What should I do?

Well am currently making a site and have to sort it out for IE5 and its annoying, but when i get it right then i'l now how to do it the future. There are loads of people who still use IE5 so i'd strongly advise it!
What do you think your client would say when he looks at it and it looks funny? -

whenever I code a tabless design, it's nearly always perfect in firefox and IE. Im not sure why... maybe im lucky as hell. -

Hasn't IE dropped support of IE 5.0? -
i think you're thinking of IE/Mac, PettyRider.

My design works fine in IE6 and 7, Firefox and Safari, but in IE5x it goes screwy, alignment is broken and my CSS drop down menus don't function properly. I'm seeing usage numbers around 4% for IE5, and I'm not sure I can justify the extra couple days working out bugs...

I don't think you should try to hold your design in IE 5 to the same standard. Make it legible and usable at the least. You could always create an IE 5 specific stylesheet that's very simple and call it done. That shouldn't take more than a day. -
