Usually it's IE-specific script. M$ has their own non-standard scripting language that isn't fully compatible with standard ECMAScript (commonly called Javascript).
The programmers are so lame that they cant write clean code. And as IE itself is happy with broken code (at time REQUIRES broken code) its a-OK with most webarchitects.
Not until we get at true crossplatform standard which ALL conform to, we will keep having these problems..
We have crossplatform standards. Those that create their sites with M$ software simply don't know about them, and neither does their software. Or they simply don't care even if they do know. Or they think IE is the standard, though it can't be, since there are no published specs defining any. "Browser makers are no longer the problem. The problem lies with designers and developers chained to the browser-quirk-oriented markup of the 1990s-often because they don't realize it is possible to support current standards while accommodating old browsers." http://webstandards.org/about/history/ http://www.mozilla.org/docs/web-developer/upgrade_2.html Pages can be made to work in all browsers. Making them work in standards-compliant browsers is easy if you aren't using M$ software to create them.
Too many sites are "anti anythingelse than IE" Hotmail for instance. It changed something on their pages, and now o cant get to them neither in Firefox nor Konqueror. It sux!
Hotmail is a M$ company. You expect it to be happy without a M$ browser? -- "The message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved, it is the power of God." 1 Corinthians 1:18 NIV Team OS/2 ** Reg.
