Any site that will only work in IE is a piece of shit site and its webmaster should be shot. Firefox is even tollerant of some stupid mistakes, it just dosent let you be a complete idiot about it. If you cant form your HTML well enough to make it render with other broswers, then the life of a webmaster is not for you. Get a different job.

Companies and organizations who design thier websites only to work with one browser (and browser) usually dont have a relationship with me to begin with. As soon as I see it, I look for another company to do business with. As far as I am concerned, companies that think this way will only be more problems down the road due to closed mindedness, one track thought and apporaches to problems.

My credit union's online banking system used to only work with IE. I called and complained for a while. Then one day, I went in and told them I wanted to close all of my accounts and pull my CDs. Thats 11 checking accounts, 3 savings, a money market and two small CDs. When they asked why, I told them that given a choice between switching browsers and switching financial institutions, I decided they would go. The credit union being a small one, promised to see if it could be fixed, if I'd stick around. A couple of weeks later, they announced that a new online banking system was going to be launched.
