Coding for Specific Browsers -

Why are you wasting my time?

So I just wasted a whole bunch of time on a site review - here is what I had to go through.

First the site was bilingual, but the description was not supplied in
English, and second the link to the English content was almost
invisible, since it was already listed in the main language, I almost
deleted it, but just happened to see the word English at the last
minute.

Then I tried looking at the site in the Firefox browser, and the links
to the internal pages did not work. Again, I almost deleted the site as
being under construction.

But I tried looking at it with the Opera browser - a little more
promising, the links to the inner pages lit up, but still did not go
anywhere.

Finally I reviewed again with Internet Explore and it seems the site was designed for it only. Brain dead site designer at work.

Lucky I got this far, not many editors have all these browsers installed, and most editors would have deleted it by now.

OK, so now I’m ready to write a description, but I really am annoyed I
had to waste all this time. So it probably won’t get my best effort.
