As a recent graduate of a software engineering program I can tell you all that AC'ss IT department seems to have absolutely no idea about software standards. AS some of you may know, the HTML language family has standards that are defined by an organization called the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) which ALL modern browsers are built to work with. Some browsers can handle errors in the standard better than others, but if a page is built exactly to standards there should be no problems displaying it. I can tell you from experience that making a dynamically generated page follow all of the standards can be a bit of a pain, but a large corporation like AC should have little trouble making this happen. I tried running ACs homepage through the validator that is provided on W3C's site and it shows 263 errors on the homepage alone. If you want to try it for yourself go here: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=ht...en%2Fhome.html
