For accessibility testing, IE should be the first browser used as most
assistive technology works best with it and Windows. That said, I agree with
the 'slap' comment.

Also wanted to point folk to a couple of other articles for accessibility
testing with browsers:
1. http://webaim.org/techniques/articles/opera
2. http://ausweb.scu.edu.au/aw03/papers/arch2/
3. http://www.nils.org.au/ais/web/resources/toolbar_tutorial.html

Cheers, Andrew

I concede that there's a need to do that.

At the same time, there's a need to slap any .net developer that only has IE
on their machine. ;o)
