True Ookla but xhtml 1.0 transitional should support that tag since it's "transitional", if I were using a strict doctype then I agree it shouldn't be shown.  Plus you've got the problem of all the people who use dreamweaver and other WYSIWYGs that, even though they generate XHTML doctypes, still use HTML code.  Again this has to do with SE and my distaste for the rules of the people who create the "standards" and FF incessant need to break the internet.  IE does it right in my mind here and they shouldn't change no matter what the mindless FF fans say because once the web moves from XHTML to XML/CSS for rendering guess what?  The <font> tag is valed again!  Who desings a transistional format that removies things that are going to be in the next version if the user wants?  (Just a note on XML/CSS it would allow you to name all your tags however you want so you don't have to use any of the tags we use in XHTML/HTML now, or you can it you're choice since you define everything).

IE supports the most. And, frankly, it's the most likely to render things properly in my experience. It has fewer restrictions, has more options, and is more versatile.

Firefox... is strict.

Why is Firefox the better browser again?

Phew . . . for a minute I was beginning to think I was human.      To think that Firefox is the distinguishing trait!

Apparently people with no lives think so too.

So, exactly which browser grants people "lives"?  Then maybe I can move out of my brother's basement and get a real job.  Like maybe working in video games.  That would be awesome.

I didn't say anything about a browser *granting* lives. It's just apparent that those people have no lives, and they clearly like Firefox.

Sorry, no magic pill to cure being a dork.

So, it's not "I use Firefox, therefore I am a dork."  Rather, it's "I am a dork, so I gravitate to using Firefox."  Makes sense now.  Thanks for clarifying.

Most people go through a "rejection" stage where they reject things that are "normal" in an attempt to define themselves as some sort of revolutionary.  Often these same people discover that "normal" things are normal because they are most convenient and go back to many of them, admitting that their "rejection" phase was merely some sort of cry for attention.

Some, however, in a bid to continue this rejection phase, because it's so cool, and yet still adopt the "normal" things that are so convenient and make so much sense, have moved on to rejecting those who reject normalness.  Thus they villify anyone who rejects "normal" things, like IE.

Rejection of rejecters is a lonely road whose revolutionary adherents revolt against revolt itself.

Wow, Skar.  I feel very philosomikated now.  I'm gonna switch my Firefox to Opera.
