Look, I don't deny the approximate truth of your idea of not
breaking something so that it works with something that is
defective in itself.
I am denying it's relevance to what Bruce is simply not seeing:
that something needs to be done by website makers to cater for IE
beyond writing to good standards. It does not break the standards
to put in hacks or conditional IE proprietary statements, I doubt
the standards say much about these things...
Your remark that I should enjoy my browser reveals an ignorance
of the nature of the question being addressed. I do not use IE to
browse. Please do not dismiss me so easily. I am a visitor to
your earth, have some hostful respect.
