Hmph! Most designers seem more than happy that it only works in IE,
citing the self-fulfilling prophesy of "more and more people viewing
my site only use IE"

Roll on the rise of alternative browsing platforms like mobile phones
and pdas, and the enforcement of laws making sure that websites are
accessible to all. The standards are there, and if only people wrote
to them, browsers would have to use them. As it is, we seem to kowtow
to our machines far too much.
