Finally not discriminating against IE users at SoftCE.net.
I should never had done so since I’m trying to sell my service and there’s are a lot of potential clients that have no idea what firefox is but I was too lazy before.

That’s good. IE is actually pretty standards compliant, as long as you don’t try to use any features or standards that are too new (like some CSS2 stuff).

PS - If you’re going for compatibility, be sure to check your DOCTYPE declaration at the top of the page, because browsers (especially IE) interpret pages differently based on whether you tell it that it’s HTML4, XHTML transitional, strict, etc. Oddly enough, you will get more consistent results in the application of CSS styles (between browser implementations) with XHTML, which seems kind of odd at first, but I had to learn that one the hard way.

PPS - When I say odd, it’s not that it’s odd that XHTML gives better results (because it is superior to HTML, IMHO), but I just found it odd because CSS rules are not written in XML/HTML, but it does apply them differently based on the DOCTYPE definition.
