Thanks, Chris.  Good to know that Chrome and Firefox are used extensively in 
testing and development.  That is good enough for me to use either as I go 
forward.

IE8 should work but since I don't have Windows I haven't been able to do 
extensive testing.  Most of my testing is done on the following browsers in 
order of frequency:

Chrome
Firefox
Epiphany

In general Chrome and Firefox have far better development tools associated than 
other browsers and so this is why this is the case.

The past IE problems were pretty-IE specific (the big one was handling of 
button elements) but because IE refused to support standards in some areas, a 
few lesser known browsers became unsupportable as well, mostly lesser known 
text-based browsers.

Best Wishes,
Chris Travers
