If you're using Windows, you should stick with IE because it was created for Windows. Don't mess with Mozilla or Netscape.

Sure, Mozilla has problems and plenty of them but IE has a class of greater-magnitude problems that shouldn't be extant. The message prior to this original is a perfect example of what happens when IE tries to "compensate" for faulty markup. -- Neredbojias Contrary to popular belief, it is believable. |

About anything much, if you think that a choice of OS rules out the use of third party applications! > Don't mess with Mozilla or Netscape.

This very thread reminds us that IE rules itself out as a web-compatible browser by disregarding mandatory requirements of the interworking protocol. Bye. |

Don't mess with Mozilla or Netscape. If you insist on using a > different browser, try Opera (but it still doesn't beat IE). Absolutely terrible advice. Internet Explorer has more holes in it than Swiss cheese, and fails miserably to implement many standards properly (most notably, CSS, HTML, HTTP, and PNG). There are reasons why Windows versions of Mozilla and Opera exist; the one I can think of right off-hand is so one person can use the same browser on multiple operating systems. There is no native, currently maintained version of Internet Explorer for GNU/Linux and other GNU variants, OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD, Solaris, AIX, HP/UX, MacOS 9, MacOS X, IRIX, and, for that matter, just about every other operating system out there *not* made by Microsoft. -- ___ _ _____ |*| / __| |/ / _ \ |*| Shawn K.
