Reminder: IE/Mac is not like other browsers. Here are some of the differences:

  --  Does not offer LiveConnect or ActiveX Scripting (no FSCommand)

  --  Will not reveal its plugins to JavaScript

  --  Will protest if it encounters VBScript

  --  Throws errors at some DHTML that prior browsers happily accept

  --  Has various subtle differences beyond this


(This is a FAQ that usually comes up 3-4 times a week on this list.)
