Nathan,

If it was web based for the average joe blow to look at I agree, but in
this case it is not. And intranet systems are always designed with one
browser in mind and one only, and this is usually IE because these
companies have agreements with M$.

Did you stop to think about that?

I agree with pretty much everything Umer has said in this thread.

Honestly, at the risk of hurting feelings and being called names and 
whatnot, the reason a web app that does the things we've talked about in

this thread should not be cross-browser compatable is either a lack of 
skills on the developer's part, lack of time/money on the manager's 
part, or retarded requirements writers.

When you are experienced at developing apps for all browsers, it becomes

harder to develop one for a single browser, than it is for all.

There are a few exceptions, mostly dealing with activeX (though FF has a

plugin for that), html text areas (though fckeditor 2 will be released 
soon), and VBScripting (does anyone actually use that?). These are very 
minor.

If you can't develop the app talked about in this thread to be 
cross-browser compatable, it's my theory that you're just inexperienced 
at cross-browser development.
