Ah well, there's yer problem :-)

It is very easy to code ASP in a way that breaks heinously if certain 
variables are undef. Those variable (which I don't recall off hand) only 
get set if the browser is IE.
 
Sloppy programming and incomplete testing results in a site that just 
won't work unless the browser is IE.
