Yup.
Site owners who insist on using junk that only *some* folks have
is another case of stupidity that surfers have to deal with.
Webmaster who don't know how to sniff for browsers properly
has also been mentioned.
Folks who go to stupid people's sites,
have to get to be smarter than those stupid people.

Martin's link in news:hice6n$a6...@news.albasani.net
is the starting point.
Most stupid webmasters don't even realize how stupid they are.
Where does that leave me though?
Reading the FAQ / Release Notes
for something you use is a good practice:

The other part of Martin's post adds a useful detail to that.
Sure you may be technically right,
but how can I use a browser that gives me so many blank pages?
Start by making sure it's not YOU whose preferences bork things.
NoOp has given a solution
that has been echoed and confirmed multiple times in this thread.

Again, a *smart* webmaster / site builder
would give you AN ERROR MESSAGE stating what is needed.
:Is SM a dying product?

No, but the number of folks who understand
HOW MANY ways a webmaster can screw up a web site
has always been a tiny proportion of users.
...and if a site owner has built a site
in a way that it will ONLY work with ONE browser
and he ISN'T listening to complaints to his email,
the obvious solution is to surrender to his stupidity
and use the browser he prefers.
Welcome to 1997.
I've continually updated my website from time to to time. although the
content itself may seem childish, hokey, or stupid, to most here (its
mostly a website about my family tree and family) I've finally (I think)
have got it so that it passes w3C standards for XHTML 1.0 Transitional
with out any errors. So it should show up on any browser and look
relatively the same. I have two instances in which I use embed tags for
the same Flash Slide Show on two pages. I use DreamWeaver 8. and would
like to figure out a method to do this instead of using embed.
But other than those two instances it 100& compatible with XHTML 1.0
Transitional.
