Most of us have heard of this. Obviously you must work for MSN.
AS this person has the page on a standard website, it therefor will be
available to the common man around the world.
One of the reasons I quit using IE was because it wouldn't render pages
correctly.
And if one has extremely sloppy code, as in this case, IE still manages to
render the page.
Therefor, IE does not conform to the standards of the W3C convention.
Which, BTW, IE was stolen from it's originator and M$ had to cough over a
huge bundle for the proper rights.
At least Firefox tries to conform to the W3C standards. IE never will and M$
don't give a shit.
Besides IE having numerous security leaks and bugs.
