But we here are smarter, and so use other browsers.

Note that the reported market share for other browsers is now
considerably greater than that for IE.

Of course, once the author's sillies have been dealt with by using other
browsers, one should use IE and try to deal with its sillies.

For code not reliant on a GUI and I/O, it may well be worth testing in
JScript under WSH.  That at least gives a clear indication, in your
choice of font size, of where it thinks the error is or becomes
detectable.
