| Frank G. pointed out to me that the photo function didn't work with non-IE browsers, so I went ahead and fixed that, plus made sure the formatting buttons work with (I think) all browsers. I also added in a photo preview routine. Let me know if I broke anything else while fixing those, or if those aren't what I wanted them to be... |

| #6 Abu Uluque - correctamundo! The only reason I keep IE on my home computer is that we use Outlook at work, and if I access my email via webaccess in FF, I get a "lite" version of OE with a lot less functionality. The only website I access via IE is my webmail at work. I'd expect MS to describe that as an "inadvertant" issue |

| #5 It's a well known fact among Javascript programmers that Microsoft deliberately makes their browser's interpretation of Javascript "different" from all other browsers. Certain Microsoft programs written in Javascript, such as Outlook Web Access, won't run very well on other browsers although it runs fine on IE. That is the only reason I keep IE on my computer. Experienced Javascript programmers know they have to test their programs with Firefox, or some other decent browser, and then with IE. Then, when their code doesn't work with IE, they have to code routines that detect the type of browser being used and develop alternative paths in their code for IE. It wastes a lot of time. It sucks. But it's Microsoft's way of telling the world not to use other browsers. |

| #4 Opera has problems, but they're Opera problems, not Rantburg problems. |
