Yes it is certainly a pain for developers to support both the browsers.
But even IE can break the rules, I discovered this awhile back where
something that worked under IE4-5.0 and NN4-6 would not work under IE5.5...
I fixed the problem, but it was a headache trying to find the problem...
Personally, unless Netscape pick up their act it will die... There are so
many nice features of IE, like the behaviours. That would make designing
applications great, but becauser these are not supported under NN it means
that it could be years before the brilliant new GUI stuff will ever see the
light of day.
Even though we might be around V6.0 browsers, the market still only warrants
for V4.0 browsers and that is the biggest pain to develop for.

Force your users to download IE! Bill will love you!
I am, too, frustrated with having to test stuff in both IE and netscape.
Tables are the usual problem. But I get around that by testing with
Netscape. The rule is, if tables look right in NS, they will in IE.
but,when it comes to CSS or javascript, ack, what a waste of time. i have
to code different javascript for netscape. plus, some CSS wont work with
netscape. In the end, I give NS a thumbs down for being such a pain. I
wish it was as lenient as IE. But that leaves room for lazy programming
