Right, IE is less demanding on the rule of using tag. Another example is,
<select> (without </select>) is ok in IE but not in NS.
In addition, u may suffer more serious problems when dealing with
JavaScript. Therefore, during development, i prefer using NS for testing
instead of IE (of course, eventually u have to test ur app. on both),
otherwise, u may need to double ur development time in correcting the
compatibility between them and this, no doubt, is a painful process.
