That's because like 75% (this number is a educated guess) of all who browse the web use I.E., so most designer's setup their site's to comply with that particular platform. It may not look right in other browser's, but it can be seen, so that takes the numbers even higher. They are setup for the majority.

This is true. A good test of a browser is to face it off against a page of bad HTML coding. All browsers do a good job of displaying pages, but when a web designer builds a page with HTML that violates proper form, there is bound to be a glitch or two. Other designers often don't check their pages at different resolutions across many browsers (Firefox, Opera, Mozilla, IE, Netscape) to see how each browser interprets the code. Designers have to understand the strengths, weaknesses and limitations of each browser; those who don't do this are increasing the chance of a page not loading or behaving properly.

!!!! There are a few uneducated souls who post MP3 files renamed as .mid ... then even IE get's a new window full of gibberish

Thanks invizzible

Do my ears deceive me? Somebody is actually going to admit that Firefox has a glitch?

FireFox blocks alot of "plug-ins" and what not... It annoyed me...
