	You are _definitely_ not a web designer. MSIE is _hell_ with standards 
compliance. Mozilla is the best, followed by Opera, KHTML/Safari is 
also up there; MSIE is the _worst_ and has several glaring errors when 
it comes to supporting standards.

	It botches:
* The box model.
* Transparent PNGs.
* Position: Fixed.
etc.

in explorer. An example:
