Let's not go there. Remember, MS haven't a clue when it comes to standards,
trust the W3C instead ;)

Like another 7 characters to comment out Javascript is a huge problem
anyway. It's always a good plan.

Don't give up on NS4.x just yet, it's still widely used. NS6 is still rather
unstable,
and don't get me started on IE5.5. Try going to a website on a port other
than
port 80, and entering www.whereveritis.com:8080, for instance. (8080 being a
fairly common other port). And then laugh at "Please try the following: Open
the
s: home page, and then look for the information you want". Add the http://
bit and
you're in luck. And yes, that's been annoying me in a huge way lately, for
various
reasons.
