why does this webpage render differently in IE and Mozilla? [Settle a dispute.]

[NuclearFusi0n]

A buddy of mine claims Mozilla is inferior to IE because it won't render this page with red lines, like IE. I tell him that the page isn't standards compliant.

Which one of us is correct?

IE takes a more fancy way showing table borders. As far as being 'compliant', both browsers are showing the same thing, Netscape just puts shading on their table borders, 'the older way'.

i see red lines in mozilla, looks the same in opera...dont have IE to test out though

 

[dighn]

ie supports more non-standard features.

You're probably both right. I haven't bothered to look at the code, but likely the code is NOT standards compliant, making you correct, but IE does render it as intended, making it superior in this situation.

Either way the page is ugly with or without the red lines. (BTW, the page sucks. It doesn't render even close to the same in the three browsers I tested)

That page isn't EYES compliant. How I hate the Times New Roman font.

Only 36 Errors (no Doctype was specified, so I forced it to HTML 4.01 Transitional)

one of which is

Line 28, column 42: there is no attribute "BORDERCOLOR" (explain...).

<table width=100% border=1 bordercolor="#CF3312" cellpadding=1 cellspacing=0>
