[QUOTE="Hollywood, post: 725618, member: 7408"] Completely childish on Opera Software ASA's part. Keep doing some more research, because this is nothing but a load of garbage. Microsoft, like every other major browser, has "extensions" to the HTML-spec to expand the capability of the HTML. These extensions, which range from extra events to new methods, etc., are ignored by other browsers which don't recognize them. If the page crashes the browser, then its the fault of the browser for not handling the situation with aplomb when unknown HTML tags, methods or events are used. No, its because the vast majority of all consumer PCs are Windows based machines which ALL have IE installed on them. And most folks aren't savy enough to really go and get a new browser. Or choose not to. Now this should change a bit as more of the AOLers upgrade to the newest AOL since AOL now should be using the Gecko engine for its HTML display. [/QUOTE]
