LOL, you, my friend, have fallen victim to MS's "embrace and extend".
If
the site was W3C compliant, it would have rendered perfectly, as all
Linux
browsers as far as I know, are W3C compliant. The problem lies with
Windows, as several lawsuits have shown. They will "embrace" an new

their
monopoly to leverage against a defined universal standards, rendering it
less than universal. But hey, not to worry, the vulnerabilities are
only
a minimal inconvenience.

Ya know, I randomly find problems on some sites with both IE and Firefox.
They're usually sites that are so badly designed that they don't deserve
to exist anyway.
