Here, here!! NN4 is ALWAYS the fly in the ointment for me. I don't care how
clean my code is, NN4 seems to have a mind of it's own!

Yuck! What a mess! Good ol' NN4 strikes again.

Yup. That's why I wish NN4 would hurry up and die! I don't want to start a
browser war here, but NN 4 really is a BAD browser! I can't tell you how
many times I've spent hours on a project, meticulously making sure my code
was clean and up to standards, only to find NN4 screwed it up, then I would
have to find some kludge to "semi" fix it. UGGGHHH! Opera seems to have some
strange quirks too.

Just my 0.02 FWIW,
