Thanks: Exactly.

Jimk was complaining about CSS - yet what he fails to realize is that the only reason why CSS "fails" on Firefox is because the CSS is usually designed for IE's engine.

Pages designed for Firefox may fail in IE, and pages designed for IE may fail in Firefox. Jimk fails to realize this, and outright assumes it's "broken." No, it's not. It's designed to a different standard - in this case, the W3C standard.; Posted by: CobraA1 Posted on: 06/12/05 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
