Don't worry Rick, this doesn't work in Opera 5 or NN6 either. It's pretty
typical to have to build separate sites for IE and for everything else. Is
this site to be viewed by a large audience? According to the stats at
TheCounter.com IE5x accounted for 79% of all browsers, IE4x accounted for
8%, and NN4x accounted for 7%,
http://www.thecounter.com/stats/2001/April/browser.html so you can get a
general idea about how much Netscape makes up. If it's really important to
have one page viewable to all browsers then don't use any browser specific
tags like this one.
When you have to use specific tags then this site is very helpful
