More than likely something in the html code is triggering IE's Quirks
mode where it ignores and continues to operate on errors unlike many
more advanced browsers. Believe FireFox, not IE if you're interested in
the maximum number of browsers being able to read the code. IE can
accept some pretty sloppy stuff; whether that's good or bad is debatable
and has strong camps on both sides. The biggest downside if things that
work only in IE because of the sloppy coding in the web pages. FF has a
Quirks mode too but it's not as easy to turn on. For more detail, look
it up on google or your fav search engine.
