I have a better solution: don't use Internet Explorer. Firefox is superior in all ways, and doesn't have the security risks. Yes, I'm a Firefox fundy, and proud of it.
Sorry Zilch, but you're wrong, IE is where it's at, I worship at the feet of MS and none of your facts will change me! You Firefox fundies are all alike with your biases and presumptions, my faith is in IE. :-)
Microsoft has always had a problem conforming to standards. If you google javascript and internet explorer you will find some info about what is going on.
There is a history of competition for standards between netscape (the origin of javascript) and microsoft. Same thing happened with java but microsoft lost. I hope they get with the program and make IE conform to defacto standards.
don't use Internet Exploder, Micro$oft and standards don't go together...
firefox - good, opera - good, chrome - good, konqueror (and thus safari) - good
people use exploder and windows because thats what they know as they "grow up" into computers.. .most of them never hear about the alternatives... hmm.. how ironically fitting for this blog
Yes, Safari and Camino are also good browsers. Chrome looks good and it's fast, but apparently still has some security issues. An interesting alternative (for Mac only) is the Nagara browser, which has a controllably transparent (or entirely hidden) controller window, and only displays the actual website content: no frames, buttons, tabs, or anything. Looks cool but is a bit cumbersome to navigate.
Lee- your comment about Micahsoft (hehe) reminded me of this great spoof, now a bit dated, but still very funny.
This is not really related to this topic however I wondered if John Loftus realised that Dr William Lane Craig talked about John for a few minutes in his interview on the Unbelieveable radio show (19th of July 2008, somewhere around 1hour10mins into it)
Far more wars and horrors have been caused by IE than Firefox. Also IE wants to teach creationism in schools, and ban gay marriage. Don't even get me started on the whole dinosaurs living with people bullshit that IE is trying to promote. The choice is clear for me. I hear a lot of agnostics are going with Chrome, which is cool. I respect that.
Thanks Helen for the info and the link. If anyone else is interested in listening to it the section where John is brought up begins 1 hr and 12 minutes into the program and goes for another 3-4 minutes. What is interesting is how Bill will simply downplay the deconversion story as being mostly due to emotional reasons and little to no intellectual reasoning behind it. As I've said before I left Christianity exclusively for intellectual reasons and it wasn't from reading books or material from unbelievers, it was from reading evangelical scholars who attempted to be honest with the evidence. Everyone's experience and reasons are different and should not be dismissed and downplayed.
Zilch and Lee (and Scary), I've listened to your intellectual arguments and my faith in IE has been destroyed. I now drink at the waters of Google Chrome.

You'll be singing another tune, Anthony, when the Fire of the Fox is warming your toes! Don't say I didn't warn you!
REPENT! REPENT!
THIS THE JUDGEMENT FORETOLD BY MICAHSOFT!
Apple's Safari browser works here as well.

Hey, now you do have a technical difficulty, even in Firefox: click on "recent comments" and you get the sitemeter, but no recent comments.
Rain down upon my computer the wrath of HellFireFox!
And now for something completely different...
The most poorly named church I've ever seen. I live about 3 miles from this place and pass by it everyday:
Overcoming Faith Christian Center
What happened to Lee's last post?
Okay, it's working again.
