[AccessD] Remember the web discussion?

Great article and I witnessed this when I was doing some webdev.
Multi-browser support can be hugely painful.
Strangely though, I have recently witnessed sites that work ONLY WITH IE.
Worse yet: those sites did not employe BROWSER DETECTION in their DHTML
layer....
 and although the pages would RENDER in Firefox, the forms did not behave
properly.

I kept on calling their tech support line and they were too stupid to even
tell me they only support IE.
They just kept saying "it works fine here".
Only when I asked what browser they were using did the whole problem get
revealed.
