HA! MSN.COM wont load in browsers other then IE.

And microsoft says the site is html complient.

it is opera, mozilla, and netscape which aren't compliant.

Validator
Says otherwise.


I wonder how long before they fix it.

microsoft.com always crashed my browser anyway. So I try to avoid them like the plague

We went over this last night, Netscape 4.7 and above have been show to work. MS's decision makes sense to me. Mozilla, no matter how good, is still beta and I can understand why MS doesn't want the potential of issues with it. I see this as an attempt by MS to prevent people who are running Netscape 2.x or IE 3.x from calling and complaining about how the site is screwed up but refuse to accept that their browser is the problem.

Actually it is MS is the one who is at fault here. Just change the string that ID's opera by one character and the site loads just fine.


I think MS is just playing games here and flexing it muscles once again.

html 4.01 compliant or not, i think most people view "topmargin", "leftmargin" on tables, and "border" on images as acceptable.

Well, think about it - they don't want people complaining? If that was the case, why would they do that? They'll have MORE people complaining about it. They'll have everyone complaining that their site doesn't work at all! Look how many threads you saw here previously about their site being messed up or not loading. Not many eh? Look how many threads you see just here in ATOT, about it not loading at all? Catch my drift? I think doing this will cause more "why ? .. blah blah blah" than leaving it the way it was. They weren't saving themselves from complaints by doing that. What they wanted to accomplish by it, I don't know. I don't really care either, though.

Just another example of M$ draining the pond to kill off the other frogs (browsers)...no different than when the the "Water Octopus" (a LA water company) began draining the mighty Owens Valley in the 1930's to lower the water table and drive the farmers off the land. It worked, the land is still barren today. Who gives a rat if another browser of choice does not render a proprietary M$ site the way they want it to be rendered. Its my pond of freedom, not theirs.

Will This Thread work in other browsers? How about This one?
