Stupid useless webdesigners with absolutely no clue.
Sorry, but that is not correct. I happen to loathe MS and IE. However, my website is coded to be valid XHTML 1.0 and CSS, and *after* I had it validated it only took me all of 15 minutes to go back and make it so that it worked nearly perfect in IE, Dillo, lynx and elinks (without breaking the validation and without checking for and discriminating User-Agent strings). The fact is, if you code to the standard, it is not hard (as long you do not do extremely clever things) to make the page work and look good in all browsers. -Roberto -- Roberto C.
