Each breed of browser has its own quirks

I keep forgetting Internet Explorer works.  Perhaps that's something to be thankful for.  But the unenlightened masses still use the beast so I need to keep aware of its different behavior.

For example, in Safari, the code that splits the right frame into two rows, in IE instead opens a new window.  Perhaps this is tied to Windows' calling windows frames?  Same code in Safari does what I expect.  My fault for not remembering to check it out in IE.  I never use IE, except for software updates every 2nd Tuesday, of course.  But users use IE.

Life would be so much simpler without users.

Oops. That should have read "HOW IE works", not that it works at all.
