Back on topic (kind of), you can probably guess my browser preference fro=

that enforce some degree of conformity get my vote. Although, MSIE is

utilities such as JavaScript and Cascading Style Sheets, it's useful to
remember the origins of some of these creations. Brendan Eich of Netscape=

the originator and chief innovator of JavaScript and guess who owns the n=

JavaScript, hmm?

Having said that, I use MSIE at home (primarily because it was the defaul=

think my ISP was at fault... ;-)

Seriously though, I too, would like to see all browsers become 100% compl=

As well as giving us one less thing to rant about... =
