<div style='font: 10pt verdana; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>It works on IE because they correct for sloppy code. Then when you have a web browser that doesn't correct - does exactly what the code says to do - it looks like it's broken, when in fact it's doing exactly what it's supposed to do.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt verdana; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>I understand and agree, but I think it's wrong to blame Firefox. I think the blame should be placed on IE for coddling sloppy code. But now that they've done it, everyone has to do it, otherwise people will see it as "broken."</div>

<div style='font: bold 9pt ; text-align: left; '>I agree as well. Developers know they can get away with it so they do. If IE didn't help them maybe the standards would improve.</div>
