as for IE... it does something very simple that MS haters complain about... IE fixes errors, if you don't close a tag it fixes the problem and loads the page correctly... FF and other browsers don't do that. Yes, I can see how one can say thats a bad thing, but it's smart in a way. IE has been doing this long before FF came out so why be mad at MS for continuing to fix errors. why not blame FF for not atleast attempting to fix an error
