I'll answer it anyhow :-). Some browsers had different interpretations of the standards and render pages radically differently from each other. Testing to the standards is pointless, and will result in thousands of emails asking why IE, and it's box model, has messed up the pretty design. J Actually as far as I can tell, everyone execpt MSIE is aiming to meet the ACID 2 test: http://www.webstandards.org/action/acid2/ Admittedly firefox isn't there yet, but has it as a milestone; but IIRC Opera, Safri and Konquer all meet the test. So it's no "some browsers" it's "a browser". Unfortunately, that browser just happens to be the most widely used one, so it has to be "supported".
