Paul, and everyone
Microsoft has lots of nasty stuff that they pull on the public.
In this case, I suspect that the web designer is using Microsoft's
FrontPage design tool. FrontPage adds lots and lots of what they
call "extensions" that only work on Internet Explorer. I use the
Opera Browser and I run into a lot of web sites that only design
for IE. Usually, I give them the courtesy of sending them an email
indicating that they will never see me again unless they make their
web site W3C compliant. If it is W3C compliant (World Wide Web Consortium),
all web browsers will work.
Thank Bill for making the world wide web a more difficult place to be.
For anyone wanting to use a web design tool, avoid FrontPage like
the plague. Use anything BUT Front Page. Even Netscape and Opera
have simple web authroing tools that work. For anyone hiring someone
to do a web site, instruct them to NOT use FrontPage. Otherwise,
your web site will only be viewable with Internet Explorer.
