[imp] Re: HTML composition in non-IE browsers...

[Ahmed]

Perhaps this is a rather obvious point but why not leave the IE code as is
when a MS browser is detected and use your code otherwise?

you already stated that your code will crash IE anyway and you need a 
method of detecting IE and not run your code, this will fit rather nicely
with running the existing IE only code in IMP.

As a rule we use Mozilla here but I know a few of my users still insist on
using IE...so like it or lump it a *lot* of people still use IE.
