Gotta chuckle at your friend's naivete. IE has 

long been known as the *least* standards-compliant

browser on the market. Microsoft seems to believe

that if they do it, that constitutes a 'standard.'



All I know is when something doesn't work in Firefox, which occasionally happens, if I go to MSIE, it always has worked. Not sure why, it may be it handles *badly* written code better and Firefox is too standards compliant. in any event these people on the test team are far from naive, quite the opposite, he actually has switched to a Mac at home, builds his own PC's and uses Firefox! A Bay area developer just snagged him in any event.
