Fine on IE though.
Having dropped Firefox last year for being excrutiatingly slow while Chrome and IE8 were bloody quick, I'm now back on it trying again as it seems to be almost as fast as Chrome now. Let's hope nothing more than the zoom problem crops up to drag me kicking & screaming back to IE!
But what if you were running IE with chrome wave plugin, and you then use your IE plugin would it recurse? Leaving you with the lowest common denominator of pure despair?
Or would it just whimper out in a pathetic excuse of sub elements, like some poor fool who just realized that office products really BS'ed about handling that type of stuff.
