When I surfed to disney.com with Firefox running under Mandrake 10, without Flash installed, I arrived here: http://disney.go.com/guestservices/upgrade/index.html, where they prompted me to use Netscape 7, Internet Explorer 5, or some other 'standards compliant browser'.

The page doesn't even have a freaking doctype.

It's like the developers went to a Zeldman lecture and brought nothing home from it but the buzzwords.

Ugh. Misinformation of the public.

Settle down Mike, I got the same message while using IE6 under WIN98.

Not to mention the whole thing requires JS to even completely render. :rolleyes:

Ha ha ha, How crap is that?

I'm using WinXP with IE6 with everything set as standard and I still get that message!

I'm not sure if you got the point, but Internet Explorer isn't standards-compliant. They aren't referring to settings.
