I need to present a lot of information to my users pulled from a MySql.

I am looking for various options to display the data with cool graphics.

Are there any ways to make use of SVG, for instance, in various old browsers like IE5? I am mainly looking for the right web technology with cross platform support.

Thank you all for your suggestions!

Conditional comments allow you to target CSS directly at specific versions of internet explorer, or versions above a specific version. This helps fix bugs seen in only a single browser version, or target graphics at specific IE browsers and not others e.g. showing a gif to IE6 but a png to 7 or above.

In wider terms the general principal for website design vs old browsers is graceful degradation i.e. that users of very old browsers would get a usable site, just not the all singing all dancing experience that users of more recent browsers get.

To address your question directly this plugin assists with SVG in version 6 or above, google also offer some libraries, and this might provide a little more data about SVG in IE5 specifically.
