RE: [PLUG] interesting experiment
|
but why would html targeted for an IE browser display better on konqueror.
konq would be using the same rendering engine - therefore the html must be
different. so either konq can display IE specific html better than w3c html
OR the html being sent to an IE browser is better formed.

no. It means front page is better at writing MSHTML than W3C.
