It's a HUGE deal.  You leave a search button off a form by accident (on a page
with more than one form) and some poor user out there is up the creek without
a paddle, and probably doesn't know why, or can't switch browsers.  :-(

Then *you* need to be more specific in your announcements, especially
given your outspoken anti-M$ attitude.  :)  If you're not going to
bother checking the _current_ version of IE, you need to say so.  If
you're talking about a bug that, to the best of your knowledge,
existed two versions ago, you need to say so.  Anything else sounds

or is it still broken?

In which version _was_ it broken?  I never had problems viewing those
graphs, from the day you started posting them.

Dang, I can't wait for Mozilla...

If it sucks less than Communicator, I agree.  Otherwise I'll be forced
to use the least sucky browser, which according to everyone I know
without an axe to grind (not including myself) is IE5.01.

(...) It was (is) broken in MSIE3. But if you were running MSIE3 back in 1998, the bug never showed up because the nodes and connector lines in the graphs were each in their own table cell. The bug became visible in mid-1999 when the table was (...) (25 years ago, 18-Mar-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
