No, Microsoft is part of the issue, but now days I think all of them do it. They all try to offer features that are not an "approved" standard so they deviate a little bit by using their own tags.

There are sites that don't look good in FF too. Doubt the issue will ever be resolved.

IIRC IE doesn't respect the css rick is using; i believe he said he's reworkign it...

Also, on my site, IE users are down to 56.6 % (with FFox up to 28.9 %)

IE does some strange things with their CSS support. I'm reworking things for 7.1 to work around their goofiness

You'd think they'd get with the programme and follow standards versus inventing their own out of the blue...
