Having worked with asp.net from inception, I can say that this type of thinking is absolutely bogus. If things only work in IE, it has nothing to do with it being a .asp, .aspx , ASP.NET , pick your platform application. It is a simply matter of lazy/uninformed design/implementation. My guess is it was written to work only in IE by virtue of it being 'written' using 100% visual studio drag&drop and never tested in any other browsers at any point to ensure that it was in fact cross browser compliant - this is a developer issue NOT a development platform issue. I hate to say it, but it really bad to have such a site advertised as the mv world's 'Better & Better' web app, as it just reinforces the kiddie/dinosaur/non-professional impressions that are a constant hindrance. Sorry if that treads on any toes, but this is an extremely poor example of a professional web app.
