Most of the issues come from too specific form building. The forms
will look appropriate in MSIE, Netscape commercial and Mozilla, but
would blow up on various versions of konqueror, galeon, and epiphany
(fonts in the wrong spot, css all whacked, etc etc etc).

The end result is that if it isnt the blessed 2 browsers, the people
who spend their time web-hacking arent going to take the time to try
to fix it.. and I really dont have time to try and figure out what got
whacked out either. I just want to do my inventory or time and effort,
or a ton of other things. [The reason for this is that we spent too
much time getting them to support anything other than MSIE 5+... and
they put the limit to MSIE and Mozilla. ]
