Sorry for this non-answer, and I'm not trying to cause animousity,
but permit me to sound off a bit....
Do you really want to "force" people to use IE (as opposed to the
browser they selected to use) when visiting the web site? Additionally,
from an end-user perspective, I already find it frustrating to
visit a site which requires additional plug-ins even if I have
'em installed (QuickTime, ShockWave, etc). Speaking only for
myself, then, to use another browser as a "plug-in", if you will,
when I already selected which browser I want to (and don't want to)
use seems unfriendly.
As long as I'm spouting off, :) I don't think there's any
browser-specific feature out there which proves to be the
difference between a website that suceeds and one that fails...?
Having said all that, you can ignore me if ya want to..... :)
