Their claims of 'we only support Internet Explorer' are not quite right. From
the source code of the offending site;
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
//browser detection
var strUserAgent = navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase();
var isIE = strUserAgent.indexOf("msie") > -1;
var isNS6 = strUserAgent.indexOf("netscape6") > -1;
var isNS4 = !isIE && !isNS6 && parseFloat(navigator.appVersion) < 5;
