# that`ll be because I`m using Firestoat :p
edit: go on edit your message whilst I`m replying why don`t you :p

surely.. SURELY ASP.NET functions can run server side and make no use of the browser at all? even though 90-odd% of our customers use IE, we still try to make sure our sites work on everything (apart from maybe lynx)

# some will,
some won't... And no, it's not all serverside, a fair bit of the innerworkings are clientside. Also there is ActiveX and DirectX functions. With DirectX being an MS product, most of the web stuff it can do will only work in Internet explorer, because MS simply do not release source code to anyone, especially rival companies. It's stupid and it's unfair on people, especially me because I personally use Firefox and there's a lot of websites I can't visit cos of MS bullshit not being a set standard, and they go off and do whatever the fuck they wanna do, and if you don't have the browser you're fucked. but that's the way they are. I personally however am a fan of EditPlus, PHP server extensions and a nice mySQL database. So much nicer than MS bullshit. Opensource webdesign is the best.

# Kinda contradicting uh
How about boycotting sites that don't care enough for their users to make it multi-browser compatible ?

If you're so annoyed by sites not displaying/working in Firefox ; Why join the bandwagon ?
