It is difficult to develop when rendering on all browsers is different.

I do agree with him, one platform that did what we told it to. All hacks were documented.

However I don't miss it. Plenty of capable platforms out there that can help build browser compatible sites quickly. Besides if you have to resort to bold inside an option tag, your design has some other flaws.

My favorite is still web kit. I hope it gets more share.

Edit: try putting image tags inside option. I believe only FF renders it. I could be wrong though. It's been a while I've worked this deep with HTML. The DTD never allowed yet FF renders it.

Edit: I was right, he is using option tag to do something it is not supposed to. http://www.w3.org/TR/html-markup/option.html I suppose he missed IE6 for a reason ;)
