Oh man, just got a flashback to when everyone coded to IE because everyone used it so there wasn't any reason to code to standards. That was not a good time.

  Do you remember how Firefox got over this? By replicating IE's bugs and beating them at their own game. Now Firefox, for some reason, doesn't want to do this.

    Hhmm. I don't remember FF ever trying to reproduce IE6. I remember having to do special hacks to handle IE.

      Opera replicated a significant amount of IE's "features" for compatibility reasons.

      Here's a search query to dig into this: "firefox bugzilla internet explorer compatibility".
