I know how you feel, that one browser (that will not be mentioned by
name) cost me 3 days of addional work just to hack my 100% standard
based code so that it will work.

I was forced to make changes that I was not happy with from a coding
point of view.

By the way, what web framework do you use, the one that I use is django.
