Because of IEs very good interpretation, webmasters have gotten lazy with their code, they dont have to write perfect HTML and it still works fine.
There is only one way to get rid of this problem, and that if IE, Mozilla, Opera etc all did away with their interprative radings and only used w3c specs. This would mean everyone would have to write HTML properly.
The obvious problem is that 99.9999% of pages on the net wouldnt work any more. I dont know of a single page of any decent size thats 100% w3c compliant, do you?
Hell, GFY isnt even w3c compliant.
The best you can do is write your own pages in w3c terms so everyone can view it.

there is this fairly large search engine... i think the url is
http://www.google.com not sure if you have heard of it... but it is 100% "w3c compliant". maybe you should look into it.
