[dba-Tech] MS CSS enhancements -- was Compromised IE

Stuart,

Well, the site that I've been working on is designated as an IE 5.5
site or greater, so I didn't feel any compunctions about using Filter.

As far as Microsoft's share declining, I cannot believe that it will
amount to much of a decrease. Personally, I use Firefox as my default
browser as I like the tabbed interface to keep the browser clutter to
a minimum. But how much do you want to bet that some future version of
IE will include that capability?
