This is drifting a bit off topic, for which I'm sure we'll get read the riot
act by our ever-lovin' moderator, but I'd like to add a second caveat.
Don't assume that everybody is running Internet Exploder. I do some
webmastering here (including for a Sons of Union Veterans website), and I
also keep a Nutscape and a Firefox around to test with, in addition to IE
and Opera (which I use sort of interchangeably). This is especially
important if you use one of the WYSIWYG website authoring packages (which I
don't), since several of them produce incomplete or non-standard HTML which
may be compatible with IE but will misbehave or even break under other
browsers.
