Hi Jorg
Its all about the target browsers, as of April 2006 the market share was about
Explorer (6+) 66%
Firefox 22%
Safari 8%
Googlge Chrome <1.5%
Opera < 1%
Others > 1%
Like it or not IE is the most use browser and pretty much the standard in most institutions, that's education, business and medicine.
As you'll know all of these browsers work and render pages slightly differently. So you target full function against the predominant browser,it is very difficult to make simple web pages work well across the range of browsers. For something as complex as Courselab adding code to accomodate all the browsers is very hard. Hence everything works in IE but may not in other browsers.
The clean solution would be having all browsers WC3 compliant but hey, you think that's going to happen??
