From previous discussions on this list, I understand that Firefox conforms to international standards for Web browsers but that Microsoft Internet Explorer does not. Is this still correct?
No, it's just not that simple. MS claimed that IE7 is more standards compliant than Firefox at it's release date, but the CSS "support" in IE still means popular web pages should be coded twice.
The simple truth is this: If you code a web site according to WC3 standards, it will look just fine in Firefox, Mozilla, Konqueror, Opera, Safari, Camino, Omniweb and yes, even Netscape, but to make it look good in IE you need to code it again.
Anyone coding a site that works only in IE today is just lazy. They code it once and it works fine in everything but IE. Then, rather than make it work in all browsers, they hack it to bits to force it to work in IE.
