This isn't strictly true if you do the right thing and send xhtml with
an xhtml or xml mime type IE does use its XML parser. It just doesn't
render the result the way you expect by default, it renders it as a
folding xml source tree.
The following instance renders correctly in Mozilla and Opera but the
underscore bleeds in Internet Explorer from the empty div to the end
of the page ... note that a global search and replace of "< " to "<"
must be done first as I wanted to avoid mailer problems:
< ?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
< !DOCTYPE html
PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd";>
< html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>
< head>
< title>test< /title>
< meta http-equiv=
"Content-type" content='text/html; charset="utf-8"' />
< /head>
< body>
< div>Div is normal< /div>
< div style="font-style:italic">Div is italic< /div>
< div style="text-decoration:underline" />
< div>No underline< /div>
< div style="font-weight:bold">< /div>
< div>No underline or bold< /div>
< /body>
< /html>
Is this not a browser problem?
