The HTML tags. etc, for Netscape are not the same as those for IE. Many
web pages contain code that determines the browser type and then sends
the correctly formated page.

Netscape isn't perfect, not as good as IE, but IE doesn't run under
Linux. Also, most other web sites function perfectly with Netscape.
Because other sites function correctly I suspect that the problem is the
formatting of the web page rather than problems within Netscape itself.

It would be nice to be able to run IE using the Windows emulator Wine,
however, I have yet to get this to work.

Netscape does have its problems, and maybe the Linux version of Netscape
6 is buggy, but I think it unlikely that only the IBM info centre site
encounters these bugs. I have also tried the Linux version of Netscape
3. This isn't any better.
