Exactly, sorry to say this ABF, but whether you like it or not, web pages are designed with IE in mind first, only THEN will they... ignore Netscape. Mozilla may be a nice rendering engine, but it doesn't mean a thing if no one uses it. The thing is, there are too many things it either does differently or isn't able to do. I'm sure there's things it can do over ie, likely a lot, but that's a moot point if no one designes anything for it. An online standard code is sorta a must, and that's the one everyone has agreed upon. I will say this, when the HTML standard is owned by a company, it's not good in the long run. An open source standard would be better, but good luck getting one adopted by the masses.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
