The site checks the browser and sends "more w3c like code" to non-IE
browsers. It sends proprietary MSHTML to IE.
Doubt its a conspiracy, and don't think the intent is that it be
crappier. Just that MS Visual Studio, most likely used to create the
site, is weak at doing things w/o the proprietary tags.

go to http://www.msnbc.com and observe the formatting. Now, under the
tools
menu, select Change Broswer Identification --> IE 5.5 on Windows 2000.
reobserver the formatting. notice anything?
what do you think is causing this discrepency? i'm certain the
rendering
engine isn't changed to be more compatible with IE based html. So does
this
mean that konqueror handles IE html better than other html? is the
site
sending crappy html to non-ie browsers on purpose? is this poor
quality
assurance? is there a conspiracy?
