That certain software vendor's buggy software is still rather popular
(>80%?)  Version 6 is still popular because version 7 is even more
buggy.  From the evidence, none of the company's programmers have half
a brain, and few are able to read.  If our project wants to be used
for websites, we need to make certain our software works with that
buggy non-standard web browser.

Special CSS for Microsoft Internet Explorer is easy.  The browser is
so non-standard that equal signs are treated as colons.  All browsers
use the last setting found if the same property is repeated.  Try
something like:
   display: table-cell;
   display=block;
   float=left;
