Maybe some opensource browsers doesn't support teh standart well but then you need to send a bug report to the project not change the site there are way too many opensource browsers and there would be a lot more of them. You cant go by the whims of each browser or blame sites for bad programming of the browser. that what standart are for. and personaly I very much disagree with khtml way of imitating ie behavor instead of not displaying webpage which is not by the standart
