I have seen some that don't work properly except with IE but the only=20 sites I have encountered that demand IE are online banking. They seem=20 to only understand how to let you login securely using IE. There are some sites such as Tyco that only work with Mozilla style=20 browsers. It depends on the push techology built into Mozilla style=20 browsers. You can see what the Navy Observatory time is but the=20 automated gif only works with the mozilla products. See http://tycho.usno.navy.mil/what1.html Each browser has some technology that they depend on and you have to use=20 that browser before you can use their services. The 80/20 rule probably=20 applies because the banks can program for IE and get 85% of the people=20 without trippling their web development costs.
