Besides Internet Explorer doesnt follow the web standards correctly, so if you feel like a challenge, your more than welcome. Personally Id say Mozilla

• If, according to AWStats, more than 95% of my visitors use some version of Internet Explorer on any of the Windows versions, I'd damn better support them! Those numbers seem only logical to me: the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few (or the one). I will not be tricked into a pointless OS-bashing flame war, ever. I'm very pragmatic when it comes to information technology: I use the tools best suited for the job. I leave the philosophy to the philosophers. (by the way: I'm running Apache on Mandrake 10 for the webserver, and I have another machine with WinXP for Simcity and Railroad Tycoon)

• As far as I know, none of the major browsers follow the web standards 100% the same. And even in following the standards, there is room for interpretation, if I read the specs from W3C correctly.

• Like I said, I'll try and patch the problem for IE, without breaking it for other browsers, and if anyone is interested, I'll post the solution here.

• On the side: on my system, the colors become inverted as soon as I start Mozilla. I close Mozilla, and the colors ar back to normal. This is the only program that gives me this problem. So the most logical conclusion is...
