Comment

I agree with Adam but would also add that in my opinion the culprit here is Microsoft. It's their arrogant way of introducing non standard features into their software that everyone else has to adopt or risk being isolated from the majority of computer users.

We can't blame the users since most don't even understand why computers are different. We could blame some of the web developers but I suspect a lot of these are simply smarter users that have learnt how to use a Microsoft web builder!

No the source of the problem is Microsoft software not being W3C compliant. It also does not help when the bugs in their web builder are accomodated by their own web browser and vice versa (Jesus !).
