Nope IE and Opera both wait for full page before displaying (while firefox displays as output) and IE has always been more stringent in-so-far as displaying things that match up to THEIR standards instead of industry or fly-by-your-seat coding (accidentally leaving off a closing tag) then Mozilla and Firefox have historically been.

Hence more stringent...

Though really MicroShaft thinks everyone should be coding to THEIR standards and not the world.

*shrug*

I'm not sure what that's got to do with being stringent? I take it you
meant stringent as in the interpretation of standards.

Microsoft has never published THEIR standards, so how do you determine
how stringent IE is in adherering to them?

Apparently their standards change from one IE to another because none
of them adhere to their own standards. It seems like a contradiction
of terms when talking about M$ with respect to standards.
