Superb

MS again release a browser that isnt backwardly compatible & screws up ordainary things. Furthermore, a browser that apparently is not compatible with a popular script that is used on millions of sites. Net result, a lot of people have to faff about and fix things

1. figure out why something doesnt work (again)
2. put a soloution in place (again)

I was really hoping that the new wave of browsers would be convergent, but alas (as I see it), they are still divergent (especially Chrome and IE), and between them creating just as many issues as they resolve
