Why are so many webpages "optimised for (xxxx) browser"? Why not the other way round?

html is pretty standard, but each browser translates this language with slight variation, especially the newer fancier pages.

Internet Explorer proprietary extensions - that's what causes all these problems. MS encourages lazy web designers to do all this funky (and insecure) stuff on a web page in the hope that they can force use of their (inferior) browser. This is what all that anti-trust stuff was all about. There seem to be be 2 sets of standards at the moment, the international open W3C, OASIS, or whatever, standards, and the proprietary closed MS 'standards'.

Typically people like this are untrained web designers who do not care about making design unverisal to all browsers. Instead they take the easy way out and say HEY guess what this is designed for only this browser.

Basically in they are lazy, plain and simple. Or are otherwise too stupid to make the pages universal.

I agree! Opera is brilliant and is the browser which is closest to honoring the W3C standards. If it wasn't for M$ dominance and lazy users who still use IE, I believe the picture would look very different.

I can only suggest you (continue) to contact the webmaster(s) at the sites not working and request them to rectify this.

Share the pain ;)

nonetheless assuming no "WWE" income: Terry Funk. As I reported earlier, if he could not out-wrestle you he'd out-combat you. If he could not out-combat you, he'd out-"loopy" you. Bret Hart. Hate to work out Dynamite go away so quickly, however the Hitman might only out-wrestle him and make him faucet to the Sharpshooter. Sting. slightly greater advantageous wrestler than Savage, i think of. Sting might win with the help of submission to the Scorpion Deathlock. Chris Benoit. damn...what a experience-up! Chris' power income may well be the adaptation here. Dean might ultimately faucet to the Crippler Crossface. Kurt attitude. As great as Owen grow to be, so is Kurt. Kurt's meaner and greater ferocious. No submission here, Kurt might only could positioned on Owen out and pin him. Hulk Hogan. Hogan CAN wrestle. he's greater suitable and greater suitable than Austin, too. The Undertaker. Shawn's stable, actual stable. I only think of the Undertaker can beat him. Ric flair. flair had no difficulty out-wrestling the huge adult males. The Rock may well be no diverse.

Web designers think they rule the world.

They think everyone uses Windows and Internet Explorer and don't care about the rest of us.

They are, obviously, wrong.

Microsoft paid some of them to do it.
